A couple more composites

Getting the hang of this now... I'd say the hardest part is lining up the initial capture with the right perspective. Next on the improvement list is creating suitable shadows, where they would fall.

I love the Heinknel one!

Like the wavelets around the wheels of the Albatross - are you using layers?

[Alfashark]

Thanks!

Yes, I am using layers... But only in the most basic sense - cut the aircraft from the original screenshot, then paste that as a layer over the picture.
Trim away any excess and then used the clone-stamp tool to create the wavelets

Not long ago "Adamski" mentioned that most screenshots are better done in layers, each layer edited separately to avoid aeroplane enhancements screwing up the scenery or vice versa. Makes sense to me . A thing I do is line up a shot, pause it - move the plane out of the picture - take the no plane shot then move the plane back and take another shot. The second is the one for extracting the plane layer.
