Carrier Launch - Kleen Harry

[chrism7262]

hey. this is my second go at this and this one focuses more on the scenery aspect. the bachground and the hornets on deck is a real photo, but the T-45, F-14 and the Hornet that just launched are added in.

it still needs work any suggestions are appreciated!!

[Kleen Harry]

Hey, hey, Chris! Quite excellent for your second one! You are way ahead of the curve, M8! It looks beautiful!  :)

To receive suggestions, you will probably need to have a larger image as it's difficult to see detail in one of this size. However, the overall image is great! At this point all I can say is, "Keep makin 'em!"

You have a good eye for color and composition. That can really be the hardest part. Most of the rest is just technical skill which is acquired over time. Color and composition are more "intuitive" and are difficult to acquire a sense for if it doesn't come naturally.  ;)

Keep makin 'em an postin 'em, Chris! Most of all, have fun! If we stop having fun with this stuff then we've lost our way somewhere.  :)

Tallyho!

Hey, Chris, the flame on the Hornet taking off needs more brightness.

But otherwise good job!

[chrism7262]

k thanks for the help i'll try to fix it up  :)

[CaptJoe]

I hope you don't mind me tinkering with it, i just added some jet wash and slightly brightened the Afterburner.  [smiley=beer.gif] Good job with it!

[B-JR Night Hawk.]

To dark add some yellow to the afterburner.

But great job anyhow.

[CaptJoe]

hmm...

[B-JR Night Hawk.]

Better add some blue as well.

Some more yellow more at the base.

[CaptJoe]

I tried adding some blue and purple to it, but it was barely visible and ended up making the yellow\orange darker.

[B-JR Night Hawk.]

You can add bright blue around the afterburner.
Good so far.

[CaptJoe]

yeah, i'll try that in the morning [smiley=shocked.gif] its late and i'm off to bed.

Thanks!

[B-JR Night Hawk.]
