The bump-mapping looks good. As for the subject... well now we all know you have the skills, you actually have to do something with them. I've said it before, but you can add a huge new sense into your renders by giving them a story. A wing of Maras flying off in the distance, an AWACS, and a wing of Hercs flying by, one of them shooting at thin air. Time to put it all together and make something of it.
Oh, and one more thing - JPG compression! Use it! I know you might want to get the highest quality in your pic, but that image there is more than half a meg. You can make it a third that with no visible image quality lost, until about 300% magnification.
