Thanks everyone, for your comments. In response: yes, I did "plan" this, but, in the 20-MPH winds I was shooting in, catching a shot of this flying piece of newspaper was tough :). Ergo, composition was kind-of far from my mind. I did base this on the idea from American Beauty, though it's been a while since I saw tha tmovie. I guess, from the responses, I was close enough. I am curious as to what you think would have made a better background? (those of you who commented on that). I have to say I am pretty pleased with the result. My first entry with a DLSR, my highest rating (by a lot), and a top 25 finish, Woo! Again, thanks for the comments. |

A good idea but the result doesn't hold my attention sufficiently. A more interesting background might have made a bolder statement. |

Really curious about this shot. Planned? If so, I wonder if you could have arranged a better setting. Very effective depiction of WIND. |

This would be the perfect sort of shot for a polaroid gallery... |

Good idea! NOw, the composition could have been better, I think. Applying the rule of 3rds, the horz. line between the concrete and the grass should have been placed either at the upper or a lower 1/3 of the image. Your position could have been a bit lower, to more emphasize the airborne paper.
Great job on meeting the challenge, again. 6. |
