Pixilater,
You're definately improving - I think the monochrome/sepia look and the scratches and blemishes on the photo make it look like a real photo - a real action shot. Fantastic. You've kinda got me keyed up to try my hand at Photoshop as well.......I've been having a look at all of the photos you've posted over the last couple of weeks and I'm pretty impressed with your imagination and skills. Your pictures are great. Keep up the good work and keep posting your photos - I like them.
I really don't want this to sound like any sort of crictsism, because it's not meant to be, but next time when you show battle damage like bullet holes, spread them around in a fairly uneven and random pattern - projectiles will never strike a target in a "sewing machine" fashion. Due to vibration of the guns themselves, the oscillations of both aircraft in 3 dimensional space (up, down, left, right, plus gravity acting on the projectiles, as well as the variations in both aircraft speed, pitch and yaw), the projectiles scatter quite a bit while they traverse the distance from gun platform to target, creating a "spatter" effect when impacting.
Like I said - please don't take that as a criticism - you make great models (which I can do) but you can make great pictures of them, too (which I can't) - and I hate adding things to posts that sound negative - it's not meant to.
Cheers
