I think my brother's point is, even if they seem to be perfectly aligned there, the image may not have sufficient resolution, or the angle might not be the best, for us to detect minor flaws in the alignment - so there might be flaws, you just can't see them.

Yeah, I think my latest one (quite a while ago) was this...

very, very cool!

No, Shrike. Those two don't register (ie: they're not on my bookshelf... yet. Should they be?)

That doesn't signify. They pop out of the photo right now because they're too perfect, and thus do not integrate. I don't know a better way to put it than that. If I noticed, its a fair bet that other will too, and the desired effect will be lost. I'm just trying to offer constructive criticism here.

Never mind, it's a bit of an injoke and wouldn't make sense if you don't go to Spacebattles.

This one is aiming for believability.

The craft looks a bit crisp, but otherwise looks good--especially the shadow.

yes it was ND. Cheap Sci-fi movies don't have enough money for 3d models, or for good physical modelers, so what they do is get a crane type thing, and hang something odd and alienish from it. Your pic being the result!

[Nobilis Draco]

well in that case, thanks... I think.

That last one is cool, but the feel that I get from the ship is that it's very large and on the distance - perhaps a bit beyond the first set of trees - and it doesn't match the shadow.

I thought a little more blur would be appropriate... I think this just about does it.

now that you mention it, that's true it looks like a uge ship far away. As for the shadow, I think it should be fainetr ( not sure about the use of theword, I mean should be harder to notice )
