Wow i really feel like i'm moving in this one, it really feels like i'm there!
The only thing i really don't get is the light coming out of the engine, it kinda looks like it's coming out at the wrong angle for the diretion the ship is going in. Ooo maybe if you cropped it closer in to the ship so you could only see a the center mass of colour and a tiny bit going out from it could possibly draw you more into it.
The shadows you've got going on the ship really show some realisum! Although when I look at pictures of the real shuttles and stuff, I really don't believe them.

Thank you
Yeah i noticed that too but when i look over the lightwave scene file the spotlights i used to make that effect are all pointing out at the same angle that the ship is supposed to be flying at, maybe its just a persective thing... I cant crop it as i didn't do this effect in Photoshop it was all native in lightwave.

I think it's really the top one thats putting it out, i think it just needs to be tilted down a tiny bit.

What about cropping the jpg file and swapping you name to the other side?

Wow!! You did a great job on the reflections and the color of the shuttle is cool Very nice work!!
The reflections kinda reminds me of a rift in space or a decaying wormhole , it looks like the shuttle is about to enter it.
