final rank: 6 out of 32 entries

well I have been working with photoshop now about a month. I am trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can. This is my second ever entry on this site.
my idea for this photo was to have many ships flying around blowing stuff up but after putting the 2 ships in the scene I felt it was powerful and thought any more would be too much. hope you enjoy and are not sick of spaceships allready. My images are the starfish from this site and my background which is from stock.xchng.com

Nice work the only thing i can see that is a problem at the moment is that the far ship is more in-focus than the close one! Usually due to a lot of warping e.t.c. damn you raster image! nice work dude keep it up..

I am american as well, but I think that is irrelevant. The scene is not of the 2 towers nor was it meant to be. The aircrafts are space ships, and are not crashing into any buildings. One more thing 911 happened, what 7 years ago is there any need to bring it up on a photoshop website

pauldavidwarren my idea for the out of focus front UFO and not so much the back one is, I thought be cause it was closer the vibration and speed would cause more of a blur maybe I was wrong but that was my thinking behind it. thanks for the crit

Just a quick point on the 911 issue, to New Yorkers who were there seven years or 70 years won't diminish the images we remember. I don't think this piece has anything to do with that event and should be judged as the original concept the Author had in mind.
