i definately think this is one area of gijoe you need to exploit more, the vehicles are there to be used, perhaps in a chase scene maybe? it will definately help you gain some practice with vehicle shots too.
P.S I tried reading your dio you posted at C&C but for some reason JD was down at the time, can you post the direct link over on the forum?

thanks for the honest feedback. your right that dio stories dont really get the feedback i think they should. im not talking bad about single shots, but it takes so much effort to do many sets and shots it takes to make a dio that makes me wonder why a single picture gets more comments. but we have to realize that there are many,many others who read these and keep the work up. my christmas dio proved this as it got some feedback from readers on other sites who had never commented on my dios before, but they wrote that they enjoyed all my dios.
im glad you answered the one about vehicles because honestly i find it hard to think of a good scene using them, but i knew i should have.

The snowfall effect needs some work. When it's big it looks more like bubbles than snow.

thanks, graham has been telling me over and over about the spelling, i always run spell check, for some reason it doesnt catch them all, sometimes i just spell the wrong word. graham also pointed out long ago about the big font, i was still in the learning process and going from from sent files and photobucket to the site im on now.
as for the snow there were 2 things i could have done. the one i used was with the overlay in photoshop, i wanted to use picnik because it has some really cool snow, but it wold have taken a few more days to do it, a few days with my work week means a week. this raises another question im going to have to write in. thanks for letting me know these things bother more people then just graham.
