    I love all your pictures, and this one is amazing, but I just don't like the bright orange glow coming out of the Russian AA. However A++ picture.

    Bright orange glow?

    You mean from the muzzle flashes?

    The lightning is superb. Excellent.
    You've got to teach us how to create that smoke :).
    I think shadows on the flying tank to the left could be a little better.
    I also think the bullet shells would reflect more light from the muzzle flash.

    Edited:

    also wouldn't the shells be bigger?

    You should have blurr'd the barrels a bit on the edges to remove that horrible black outline, this is justified because the heat generated by the barrels would have caused it to look blurry anyway.

    The shells don't really blend in, it looks like you tried to make them react to the light coming from the muzzleflash (or whatever u call it) but they look like wierd squiggly blurs to me.

    The smoke seems to have no depth except for the edges, using the Satin blending mode effectively can sometimes fix that but not often.

    As for the flaming debri, it looks fantastic but i see a few copied, same goes for the tracer rounds.

    Those are the few nit-picking things, now for the obvious glory.
    Explosions/Debri/Plane/Lighting/Moon/everything is fantastic and makes me want to scream your name from the highest mountain top.

    The only weebit little tiny thingy I'd point is that the muzzle flash is a bit too "big" and not "tall" enough for my taste but that's only personal

    But this picture is kicking serious asses right there :p

    Is that the same background you used for the Francis pic? If so, this pic teh sux0rz. If not $T!ll teh sux0rz lol. It's ok I guess. Here is some legit crit, the shells look to plain, but the rest looks lovely.

    You've got to teach us how to create that smoke :).
    Thankye, I just might make a tut :3:

    I think shadows on the flying tank to the left could be a little better.
    Flying tank? And yea, I didn't do a whole lot with the shadows.

    I also think the bullet shells would reflect more light from the muzzle flash.
    Also, yea, I didn't bother much with the shells other than adding blur to them.

    also wouldn't the shells be bigger?
    Not necessarily, these types of guns usually fire 35mm shells, which aren't really that big (If anything I probably should have made the shells smaller)


    You should have blurr'd the barrels a bit on the edges to remove that horrible black outline, this is justified because the heat generated by the barrels would have caused it to look blurry anyway.
    Somehow, I get the feeling that if I had blurred them, it would look strange. I could also have, you know, just erased the black. But I had noticed those outlines, and personally, I liked them. Not sure why, maybe it makes it look a little more stylized vv

    The shells don't really blend in, it looks like you tried to make them react to the light coming from the muzzleflash (or whatever u call it) but they look like wierd squiggly blurs to me.
    As I mentioned to bodenlan, I didn't do a whole lot, but the way you put it, it sounds like they ruin the pic.

    The smoke seems to have no depth except for the edges, using the Satin blending mode effectively can sometimes fix that but not often.
    ...I'm just gonna have to flat out disagree with you on that one. I just really don't see how you think the smoke looks flat, I just don't...

    ...also, Satin blending mode?? I'm usin' GIMP here, we don't have none of your fancy schmancy Photochop cheatery toolifications, just good old fashioned dodging and burning.

    As for the flaming debri, it looks fantastic but i see a few copied, same goes for the tracer rounds.
    *debris* :3:

    And whoop dee doo, so I copy-pasted, It's not like you have never done anything like that. It would be a pain in the ass to individually make each one, and they are varied enough so that only really nitpicky people will notice and/or care.

    Those are the few nit-picking things, now for the obvious glory.
    Explosions/Debri/Plane/Lighting/Moon/everything is fantastic and makes me want to scream your name from the highest mountain top.
    Thanks much!

    (Just a little thing though, if you put the glory after the few nitpicky things, it kinda makes you sound like a pretentious jerk, no offense, just saying.)

    Is that the same background you used for the Francis pic? If so, this pic teh sux0rz. If not $T!ll teh sux0rz lol. It's ok I guess. Here is some legit crit, the shells look to plain, but the rest looks lovely.
    Background from the Francis pic?

    Wait, you mean the one where he is standing on the car shooting at nazi robot zombies? If so, no.
