Love, love those clouds.  Just glad they are not headed my way (south Texas, Gulf of Mexico).

I love the image but hate the lens flare Richard

Fantastic image, but yes those flares ain't good

The "harp strings" gotta go...............great image otherwise.

Ok here is another version. I agree that the lens flare is not good but it needed something.
Originally I was after a model of the space shuttle or ideally "Buran" but could not find one at a decent resolution (that was going free or cheap!)
Harp strings removed and maybe a little better flare ...

Much better.................

Richard if you have Lightwave it does have a Space shuttle in its content.
Not sure in which version but probably in v. 10 or 11.

The image looks great now !

Edit:  Doesn't the space shuttle here work ?

         Same place as the space station?

There is also a model of the ISS at the same site.

Great image.

[cyphyr]

yes I saw these, the res is far too low, I'll check the LW content but I doubt it's much better. I'm looking for something that will show the individual heat tiles (maybe with a couple missing!) to pick up the harsh specular highlights.

Fine looking work here.

ANIMATE IT!

Great image!! I agree about the lens flare. The first one was really ugly.

I like all the versions...if the strings were blurred a bit they would have worked. The solar panels look like sand paper...I believe they are more shiny or reflective blue/black...maybe like reflective dark water. Still, I can't be too critical because this is awesome...you inspire me to learn more and work harder on my images...Keep on man!!!
P.S. Don't forget to share for us less fortunate need a few scraps once in a while...
