They're not bad
The last one actually is really quite good; it's quite mysterious 8)
It's Black Sunday BTW
Back Sunday was the famous event in 1941 when the RAF pilots actually received their back-pay

Well, since you have just begun with doing artsy edits, then I will say its starting to look
alright. Its a very good start. Congrats!
But I will not say its "realistic" just yet. You will have to work
on alot more images until you can achieve some truly great special effects. I have done a few
so I know a few tricks with photoshop, but I am still learning new tricks everyday, even after
doing more than 1000+ images.
If you want, I will point you in the best direction if you want to learn
a few more tricks and create special effects for image editing dealing with airplanes and aviation.
Look at my signitures below...
they will take you to magic places 8)
-
http://screenshotworld.com/joomla/ ...this is for regular and slighlty altered screenshot images.
-
http://www.simartists.com/forums/ ...this is for highly reworked screenshots that are made into
Aviation style art. ALOT of editing must be done on these images to be posted here.
In those forums you will see a tutorial section. I have a few of my old tuts in there too. They
are simple to use for beginners. So, Have fun! Give them a try.
Cheers

I guess first it needs to switch the antialiasing mode on when getting a shot. So the antenna wire and other straight lines and smoth curves won't be jagged.
