I really liked the second one. The first one the ogo and words seem a bit blurry.

Tell me how did you get the mountains that way in FS on the 2nd one? ;)

First shot is good but it would be better if you exposed the front of those JT8's and were closer to the airport. A beautiful sunset sky would also help, however that may expose a hard, ugly horison line, if that happens try getting new sky textures or decreasing weather visibility.

2nd shot is also good. I would of increased visibility to 64km and then moved the camera away from the plane so you can see all of it. Clouds and long shadows of the late afternoon would of made interesting lighting. :D

I don't like the first shot much, the paintwork on that plane is not detailed enough for such a closeup and the ground lacks detail.

I like the second a lot, exactly how you took it with the mist and the close - up. Not every pic has to show the whole plane and be a sunset IMHO, though I agree a clearer sky and some shadows would have improved the only problem I can see - the shadow seems too sharp to be with the mist - would look bad with no shadow, so perhaps some editing to soften the shadow a little might have been helpful...

have to agree. dont like the 1st one. but the second one is really life like. It portrays a dull and gloomy day, with the mountains adding to the depressive atmosphere! But by no means indicating the shot is boring! far from it! its very powerful! good effort!

I like the concept of the first shot, but, indeed, the textures need to be better on the tail and imho the ground should be a bit brighter.

The second is brilliant and that plane is one of my favorite GA aircraft.  8-)

I like the first one. Creates a nice "leaving" feeling.
Bummer about the blurry writing on the tail 'though.


The second is good, but nothing exciting, since the setting of "aircracft and mountains" is overused.

Hi!
Well, please criticise these as much as you can :P


You spelled criticize wrong. ;D. There are some jaggies either from the repaint or the model on the tail ;) other than that, the only other thing I have to say, is why are people throwing shots at us and trying to prove that their shot cant be criticized  :-?

Criticise is the correct spelling. Criticize is Americaneze Americanese. :P

I think #1 isn't that great...especially the blurry textures.

But #2 is great...nice mood.  Which plane is that? :o

;D You're gonna drive me crazy... My english institute is british, my school teaches american english, and it's 50%/50% here.. Guess I'll stay with the british, as the accent is much easier to understand or talk (for me) (believe it or not) :o
