Kellie Best!

deaddog Thanks folks!

pcrdds Nicely done...love the passenger in the back of the cab! Looks a lot like Denis Leary, but we know who it really is, don't we?

roonma planes are clearly cloned, give them at least little differencies

PSMandrake are 'in agreement with roonma , beyond this between the two levels above and below ground,
there is no harmony of colors, and the effect of water, reclaim, more movement,
In this case, the bubbles are indicative only, of course, is my personal opinion.

BlackXxX agree with PS...

deaddog As long as everybody agrees! The water is brackish water not tropical blue or north atlantic green. He is in the middle of the dessert. There is also no wavy distortion when viewing objects under water from under water or through glass at an aquarium, only when viewing from above through ripples or waves. The wavy movement on background and objects you always see when choppers do an under water scene was created by choppers that don't understand the physics of light reflection and refraction and yes roonma it's a clone jet. If that ruins it.......... so be it cause Im going fishing!

GeneralPepper OK Hidden, thnx for the physics. Now, what happens to dollar bills under water? Do they stand up straight or do they sort of flop over?

cool chop. hope the water's calm and the fish hungry.

qtrmoonshop Nice work . . . love the whole look and feel . . . It appears that the jet streams are cloned along with the jets, and there are what seems to be un-erased dark fragments in each of them ... just above the gun on the right viewing side of the image, and in the corresponding location on the left . . . they are quite noticeable in Hi-res . . .

deaddog Thanks qtrmoonshop. I did fix those at one point but must have arrowed back and accidentally undid it? Good eye.

PSMandrake I expressed my opinion, I do not agree to anything, and you?

rajeshstar marvelous water effect

deaddog Mandrake.......... no problem, we just don't agree, no biggie.

Thanks rajeshstar!
