    Tailgating

    A nice composition, but to be frank, I’m having trouble getting past the clouds. They are very unnatural. They look like smoke from an oil fire. And their high contrast draws my eye away from the ship.

    The clouds look very much like an oil fire. Too overdone for me

    +1 to Dan and Roy's comments. The clouds and processes effectively reduce the effectiveness of this image by visually blending the subject ships with the background. Isolating the subject rather than blending it would result in a far stronger image than what you have achieved here. Did you run this image through a plug-in to achieve this effect?

    Thanks for confirming this. It has a Nik look to it.

    Re: Tailgating

    I liked its surrealistic appearance; the suggestion if at all is to tone down the appearance of that horizontal strip of plane sky amidst so much vertical sky scrapers....
