Another re-jig of Angel's work, this time adding a bit of the atmosphere that Frink missed in the original.

I like it! Definitely an improvement. No offense to Angel, but everything seemed too crisp in his version.

The thing is, you don't want to go too white on the snow. Yes, snow is white, but it's also reflective. A field of snow under a blue sky will have just the slightest tinge of blue. I know we're looking to de-blue things, but this is one area where it can easily be overdone if one's not careful.

Some times these mockups go too far by half. Just take the original shot, add some people to the background interacting with the frigate, and maybe a silhouette of another one in the background.

No need for new mtns, new skies, etc.

Define "go too far by half". How exactly are new mountains, new skies harmful? As long as continuity is protected I don't see any real harm. I'm not speaking to personal taste, I'm referring to actual "harm" to the project or film.
