Well here it is what do you think.
the ship modelling is excellent. I like it alot 
For the explosion, Is there mblur in that pic? I don,t think, you should add mblur wit ha value of 5.00. It would make the explosion better. Also you could add an orange light in the explosion…so it look like the fire lights the ship
Very good entry! Good job man!
LOL i like the small version better than the large one.
consider your composition and consider having an asymetric composition

Thx for the replies.
I will do another pic w/ motion blur and add some red/orange in the explosion. Good idea 
That sounds like a really good idea too. Unfortunatly I have no idea what it means %| Could you explain it for me?
he mean that you’re pic isn’t quite symetric…the whole thing is at the left…and there is nothing at the right…you should try to center it up 
You porbably made it like that because you didn’t modelled the left part of the ship but you should model it
OH yea i didn’t really finish the ship, couldn’t figure out what the front should look like, but here is another image with blur and color
looks better now
maybe you could just make the explosion bigger…and put more distance between the 2 parts of the ship…
NO NO NO
x-w i am not saying to even it up silly silly boy!!!
i am saying ot make it less even, to perhaps bput all the action in a single corner and have somthing somwhere else on the screen to poitn towards it.
perhaps the ship is in the bottom left corner of the screen blowing up, with an escape pod witha small trail in the top right hand corner.
its a very unbalenced composition this way, but it often works.
putting the action in the centre of the screen is the WORST possible thing you can do (we learn this at design school so its university shit i’m talking about)
the eye needs to be lead to the action through use of direction of objects lines and visual elements, etc…
it doesn’t need to be in the centre of the screen.
perspective is powerfull
position of element working together is also powerfull

oh…oooohh…ooooooooooooohhh
ok then
composition shomposition. I subscribe to the “aim camera at the cool thing” school of thought.
it is a little blank to the right (i couldn’t get close to this pic though, so don’t take much notice of me!!!).
just a thought: i saw a really nice earth model rip sting made available (do a search in the forum for it). That added to the background, offset to the right slightly might look good.
But it would probably invalidate it as a competition entry!!!
Asymetric composition is that similar to the rule of thirds?
The second one is amazing i really like it is there a good tut on creating realistic explosions anywhere?
L13 do a search in the Q&A section, there are a tone of tuts out there. Ok here is my final pic
I’m with Enos Shenk. You can bother with composistion if you like, but if you have to think about it, its not really worth it IMO. Plus ‘aim the camera at the cool thing’ is funny to say outloud to myself while I sit in an empty house with no friends

nice!
my only criticism left is that since it’s in space it won’t actually be much of a “bang” as such…
but now I’m just being silly…
