Country:  |  Now understand.
But back to your practice with the text.It looks good in all pics.My suggestion is to use as the shadow colour both inner or outer effects one of the lighter colour from the background.The black is not always a good one like these light grey or even white.Besides try to use different settings for the effects.

Country:  | Little different shadow, less blurr and dark blue. The less blurr takes away it's goal, that of highlighting the text, I think, with the plane, I think it works rather well.

Country: | Great. But can you adjust the relief effect? I mean it is too big.

Country: | Okay, testing, also a smaller version to see how it works out when you resize it. Not gonna use it as a siggy, but it's a nice test-case

Country: | Ooo...looking great.But the letter shadow is too far from these therefore they are less visible.I suggest to try to use a different distance.

Wojtek has a much better eye for fonts. But luckily he's a great teacher. Otherwise I'll stick to making a composition and ask him to do the text

Country: | Okay, the following are no siggies (should I make a thread in the personal gallery forum?) or at least not jet. Just me playing around with themes, making a composition (and avoiding text ) and using several techniques.
1. Bismarck lying on the seabottom, with a ghost stringbag. Tried to make the edge of the nespaper a little erroded, like old paper. Curling the edge in Paintshop pro is ugly, tried it, but it looks too artificial.
2. Midway, flightdeck Akagi steaming with a wildcat. I wanted to see what it looks like if you throw perspective overboard.

Country: | Cool Marcel,
I like them both.But the first one with Bismarck I like much.However it would be looking better if the transparency of the Swordfish at the battleship fuselage area would be equal zero.I mean the part of the fuselage shouldn't be visible.What is more I would suggest to convert the pic with the plane into sepia one and then use here.It could take a correcpondence to the newspaper.

Country: | Good call on the sepia. Not sure about the transparancy though.
