That's awesome .  So realistic!  I think #1 is the best...the vapour looks great.

Good job 8-).

Why thankyou guys  :)

Actually suprised to hear that Sgt Gabe!! When i looked at it once it was uploaded, i was like yuck!! #2 for me!

[FlyBajan]

I for one think it looks fantastic!! But what about those birds? Are they real? I can't figure what I am looking at
because it all looks so real! Well done!

Very, very nice, Cobra! You have a really good eye for composition!  :)

I'll be the "odd man out" and go with #2. Why?

1) I really like the soft, misty look to the background. Just seems more "artistic" to my eye.

2) The softer background doesn't compete for attention with the subject in #2. Orange is the MOST dominant color of all. That, plus having the shuttle on the launcher very sharp and clear, results in my eye being pulled over there even more than it is pulled to the aircraft in flight! In #2, the orange seems to be "muted" to just the right degree!  My attention stays primarily on the subject.

I really like the water and the birds and the whole composition is very well balanced, IMHO!

Hope to see more from you soon! Great work!  8-)

[Cobra]

Thanks again guys really appretiate it  :)

Sadly the birds are real flyBajan, so can't take any credit for that!

I totally agree with you Kleen Harry! I sorta think #1 looks a bit boring, but then again #2 is totally unrealistic...i mean would they ever land a shuttle in thick fog?? Artistic licence  ;D

[Kleen Harry]

Hee heeee! That always seems to be "the divide", doesn't it? ...realistic or artistic. IMHO, both are entirely vaild as is the turf somewhere in between. If you are pleased with what you have created, then you have been successful, IMHO.
