Praise alert. Great work, Vecktor!!
Gorgeous. Just... gorgeous. 
I really enjoy your effort at photo-realism with the lighting. The first is my new desktop image and I think it works best of these three.
The second has excellent texture work and conveys the massiveness of the ship pretty well. My primary quibble is the planet background which is unexpectedly noisy.
I'm not quite sure about the lighting choice for the impulse engines since it betrays the appearance of realism. The glow almost suggests diffused lighting caused by an atmosphere. The third image, likewise, has a lighting concern with the navigation lights of the saucer. Were they done in post-processing?
High marks all around for your best Trek renderings to date and some of the very best Trek images period!
Is there any chance of a small animation using this lighting?
Was this still done in Lightwave?
Edit: I just wanted to say the initial impression was one of shocked delight and amazement. They were so good that I asked myself to look for quibbles in the way art critics may examine a masterpiece.

Vektor, you know I've been a huge fan for a very long time on here, and you've done some amazing stuff. But this ...? This is probably the most photo-realistic work I've seen you post. I almost feel like I could step inside these images and be inside this ship. Amazing!
SHIT! THIS is what the movie model should look like!
When it comes right down to it, I don't know what the big deal is about this Enterprise.
It's merely exquisite perfection, that's all.
In my imagination when I was 10, I knew - I JUST KNEW! - that THIS is what the Big E really looked like, if you could get a real good look at it on a crappy TV set.
You've merely rendered what was in my mind's eye all these years!

So remind me why you don't work for ILM or somewhere else in Hollywood? 
Unbelievable. Just amazing, Vektor.

Need to see more shots of this beauty!Well, it took me long enough, but I finally got around to doing some wallpapers. All three are 1680x1050 widescreen.
Enjoy.
Selfish (spellcheck) I know, but who cares we want more! LOL
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for these!
I like the clarity and lighting of all the images... and the ship looks great. Great work!
