Found a paper airplane design I liked on the net and folded it a couple of times, adding my own slight modefication. Plane is actually supported by wire coathanger stand that was later cloned out. Then just hit self timer and added my throwing arm into the frame. Lit plane and arm with silver umbrella from above right and gave background wall some color with second flash. Minor adjustments to levels, curves, brightness/contrast, saturation. Added just a bit of motion blur to back edge of plane.

Boats and Planes. Still no trains yet.
Wish I had thought to enter one!
Seriously, nice motion blur!

Great sense of movement here. I like that the hand is in focus and the plane's rear end is not. How did you achieve that effect?

Nice plane, and very good composition. The only thing I don't like is that particular shade of blue, but that's my problem. The background texture along the bottom is great. I'd like to see more of it in the rest of the image.

nice photo but what lowered my vote was the dust marks under the plane and in the upper left hand corner as this is in advanced editting IMO these should have been removed
