"Hold up..." - Some Guardsmen on a motorised patrol in the woods

The light is good, although the light on his body is very off, considering the light source is way behind him, and not to his front left..
There would really be a small rim, and little to no light on his facial features...
There would be no light on his right arm, since it would be covered in shadow.
The editing is very constant though, leaving a polished look, and the light from the headlights looks rather good ^^
Great as always.
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;21426374]That might have been the nerdiest comment I've ever read, but I thank you for backing me up. :3:[/QUOTE]
It's the name of a vehicle.
I want to have sex with the lighting in this picture
Excelente, mi amigo. The guy catches the light very well, almost to the point where he looks like a real person. Very atmospheric picture, excellent editing. The only thing that bothers me is the grass. It looks a little blocky. The guy's hand also looks a little morphed, but that may just be me.
Its nice
Thanks so much for all the comments! When I saw "11 new" I thought there was going to be a war going on here, but I am very pleased to find otherwise.

I understand your point, but everyone seems to be forgetting the moon in all this and also that thing called 'artistic licence'.
The strong rim-lighting created by the phong is from the headlights, the rest is from another lamp placed off-screen, much darker and bluer, acting as the moon. "But why is it so strong on the guy?" I hear you ask. That's why I mentioned artistic license - if the whole picture was equally dark, or if the whole picture was brightened more, then there would be very little focus, especially considering there isn't much depth-of-field either. Think of a night-scene in an action film or war movie or whatever; quite often the main character is really brightly lit and everything else very dark. You don't notice it though because your mind says "this scene is dark and blue so therefore it is night" and you are simply happy you can see the character and what is going on. The same concept applies here, although the lighting contrast is not quite so prominent.
By the way, a lasgun model just came out.

Yeah I saw. I don't think they would fit with these models very well though, so I shall continue using BF2142 stuff for the time being. I don't really see the need to use a lasgun that looks exactly like the tabletop weapon because... it's a weapon designed for a model a couple of centimetres so it really lacks detail, in comparison to these [I]Crysis[/I] models.. I never decided to do these reskins as a perfect replication of WH40K's Imperial Guard, but rather as my interpretation of them as a more realistic sci-fi force.
The lighting was beautiful, and the posing was very believable. Rated artistic.
The beams from the headlights seem to be going off in a different direction compared to the direction the truck is pointed. Otherwise, pretty sweet lookin.
Yeah I spotted that afterwards. Was kinda annoyed at myself, but I always seem to mess up perspective like that.
... let's just say that the driver has a HUD that is linked to the swivelling headlights so they point in the direction he is looking.
:P

Even though, the light from the moon wouldn't be as lit ;)
It's great overall, but if there was a moon, I would have had it to shine down from another direction, then the same direction as the headlights.
I know what you are trying to imply, but the light is way to bright :P

I dunno if you read what I wrote. I know the light is too bright because otherwise the character would be in semi-darkness and the picture would be pointless.
And the moon is shining down in another direction... hence why you complained that there is light coming from a direction that isn't the headlights.
You have confused me.
