I like the shuttle bay. Interesting looking main door.

What a difference between the top images and the second set with the new nacelles. A big improvement. I like the new nacelles better as well as the grey stripe around the top. Gives it some color to break up the expanse of light grey.
What is the round indentation on the upper front saucer surface?

What's a shuttlebay without shuttles!

I think you need to make the registry number a bit bigger. On a Connie, the number usually covers an arc of about 90 degrees and is quite a bit taller. The name is ok as is. Nice ship.

In the last pic the lighting should be have much higher contrast. The ship is very close to that star (which is very bright -- that's ok), but you have only a soft pinkish light on front surface of the ships and a fairly bright fill light on the back side. Instead, the front surface should be blasted with white light and the back surface should be fairly dark.

updated the pic :)

[Masao]

The lighting's still off. You've turned down the lighting so the side away from the star is dark, but the side toward the star is way too dark! The bright side should be very bright and the dark side should be much darker.

[scaramanga]

lightning is done with photoshop, don't seem ti get it any better. :(

Anyway, I hope that the registry is better now.

Nice pic! You might want to show more reflection of the light off the bottom on the primary hull, since that phaser's a pretty strong light source.

[skyhawk223]

Yes yes. Blue reflection on the bottom of the saucer would add a lot to the pic.
Nice scene setup.
Something about the phaser beam bothers me, though. Perhaps the transition between the phaser and space is too quick. Maybe a more gradual blend would look better. Not sure though.
