Byron has the same moon texture that is used in 5 and 12. :D
I meant to say how can a person get both, the plane and the moon to be so big...it looks like as if the moon came down on the earth or that plane has been taken into space for that shot.

I can understand the case of #5 where atleast 1 of them is small (the plane). Basically, I'm saying that either the moon should be small or the plane should be small.

Look at this real shot for a reference:

I have been messaging back and forth with the authors of picture #5 and #12 a few days ago. They both use the same add-on textures. Read the following part the conversation between me and the author of #12:

I know your shot is not edited. I assume the moon is an add-on. Do you have a link to the add-on? Just for some "proof"....

Sure...it's hdmoon.zip from avsim.

As I said I will give a full tutorial how to take these shots when the competition is over and I expect a few apologies.
More people are now saying my shot is edited and I am really upset by it all.
Thanks

It is ok, *****. I know it is not edited and I'll try to explain it in the contest.

By the way those textures are nice. I gave it a try:

Now do we edit the same way or do we just share the same textures? :D :P

:o
Exactly.
Please please post that pic you have done on this month's SS contest board.
In the mean time I have just made a few pictures of how It's done which I can post after the competition or you can post during.
Thanks again
