All pretty good IMO. #2 the most realistic looking vintage effect though. #1 and #3 look more 'LOMO'

(And I suppose a jet in a vintage is always going to be tricky to pull off! )

Cheers but what is "LOMO"?

They have the matt vintage look, not luminous at all. Nice compositions too

Cool, thanks. I like the rules especially the last one!

I think these work really well, but the (presumed) actors in image 1 really let down a very atmospheric image. The groundcrew seems to be giving the 'Start Number 1' (ie start engine number 1 as a pilot is clambering over the side, with another pilot seemingly visible in the cockpit.

The big point though is really nice processing! Good job, how did you do it?

Regards,

Cheesy

out of the ones you posted i would say number two of the lancaster is my favourite. They are all nice

 

[RKC]

Fantastic processing on the first two
I would be very interested to know the technique if possible

Just created another one using a technique that RKC was kind enough to share with me. Critiques as always very welcome.

Loving the Lancaster shot but the horizon running off to the right keeps taking my attention away from the plane and ground crew.

I agree with Nick, also the ott Copyright does nothing and I could remove it in seconds with Photoshop , so serves no real purpose to be frank :shrug:


I love the Tiger Moth PP absolutley spot on

Watermarks are like Marmite, love it or hate it. Looking at your watermarks Lez325 I can do the same :shrug: each to their own and all that

Thanks for the comments on the Lancaster the more I look at it the more I realize the eye does wonder over to the horizon perhaps a Horizontal Flip works better?

Nice one Gaz glad to have been able to help, some good effects can be had with experimentation

re this I think that the large prominent defect to the right is maybe a bit overpowering leading my eye to it distracting from everything else, of course just my opinion certainly no expert only done one myself
