Thanks Oleg and Ilya for the update pics.
From my amateur photography perspective I have made the following observations of each jpeg.

Jpg0100 Spitfire cockpit – excellent cockpit reproduction, very clear ground detail from cockpit windows (high depth of field), all shadow effects are excellent.
Jpg0101 Extinct Volcano – Distant airfield, trees, fields, earth rocks, water reflections, clouds are reproduced in high detail with excellent visibility to the horizon (high depth of field) I noticed there were no cloud shadows over the land mass.
Jpg0102 Covered vehicle – Excellent detail, good shadow effect, long grass, distant trees and house look very effective and much more realistic than IL-2. High cloud effects very good.
Jpg0103 Red & White check control tower – Good detail and shadow effect relative to the sun’s position.
Jpg0104 Airfield wooden tower – good detail and shadow effects, very crisp and clear distance details of trees, airfield and aircraft line-up. I like the airfield ‘depth of field’ effect, it looks very realistic.
Jpeg0105 Petrol drums – good shadow effects, long grass looks good (though a bit too bright green). Again the distant airfield and trees are very crisp and clear with the ‘depth of field’ effect.
Jpeg0106 Radar Tower – Excellent detail and shadow effect from midday sun.
Jpeg0108 Large radar towers with water and cliffs – Water looks excellent (though no shoreline wave action). Cliff detail and shadow effects are very good.
Jpeg0110 Line of vehicles – Excellent tree shadow effect with patches of sunlight – again excellent ‘depth of field’ showing tree varieties and their shadows to very good effect.
Jpeg0111 Water, Cliffs, Clouds and Hills – Water looks much more realistic, cloud types look excellent in late afternoon sun with very effective shadow effects.
Jpeg0112 Fuel truck and different grass types – Excellent attention to detail with truck and contents. Grass types look very good, though colours are a bit vivid.
Jpeg0113 Fuel hose truck, airfield buildings and aircraft – excellent detail on truck, buildings look like typical WWII types. Distant aircraft line-up and trees very crisp and clear under noon sun.
Jpeg0116 Flying shot – Excellent cloud and shadow effects with excellent water and ‘white caps’ effects. Very good distance clarity of land and cloud shadow effects.
Jpeg0117 Spitfire top view (1) Excellent aircraft attention to detail (surface rivet detail) with excellent shadow and Perspex canopy sun effects. Water underneath more realistic with ‘white caps’.
Jpeg0126 Spitfire top view (2) Same aircraft description as above. Tree and ground detail very realistic with excellent shadow effects, a huge improvement on IL-2.
Jpeg0130 Volcano setting sun and clouds with water reflections. Spectacular sun, cloud types and reflective effects – very photo realistic.
Jpeg0131 Sun, cloud, land and water effects – A great grab showing very photo realistic effects.
Jpeg0147 Spitfire smoke and shadows – very realistic smoke effects with very good shadow/sunlight effects on Spitfire.
Jpeg0168 Me110 – Excellent shadow and canopy sunlight effects with very good sun and water reflections. Again a very photo-realistic grab.

Summary – Some colours are a bit bright which is obviously still a work in progress.
Overall, the attention to detail is excellent. Looking forward to the next release.
