Try one of the Spitfire Mk V in a dogfight.

Exaggerated depth-of-field blur tends to make things look like scale models. You wanted a radial 'zoom' blur with a center back in the distance where the plane came from.

No one else notice that the guns are firing in mid air, too far out to one side and in front of the leading edge of the wing?

I noticed that too OOZ, I just figured it was his settings in AH / FV.

I got a trick to help soften pictures and add extra cool.

(I don't know GIMP. This is for PhotoShop, but GIMP might be able to duplicate the effect.)

Duplicate the main image in a new layer. Go to town with brightness and contrast until the image is mostly black with 15-20% splotches of light. Gaussian blur that layer, in this case maybe 15-20 pixel's worth. Now screen that layer over the original layer. This adds a "bloom" effect you will like. (You should probably lower the opacity of that layer below 100%, too.)

Yes, try softening it. I did that with this picture I made:

I also changed hue, contrast, brightness, and sharpening:aok

I know the edges are jagged. I didn't know how to turn anti-aliasing on.

What I would LOVE to see is a High-Def picture of a Spitfire Mk V behind a 109-F (VERY close together) showing the heat waves coming out of the engines.
