A-10 Hawg

What's with the fake blur? Do you have one without it? The image doesn't look real at the moment.

Its the effect I wanted on it, I like it.

On the one hand, it does make the image "pop". On the other hand, it looks like it was cut-n-pasted.

But it's a beautiful bird nonetheless!

Nice

First time I've heard someone say that about an A-10.

Maybe if you only blurred the area from the rear laning gear back instead of everthing but the A-10, though would make it look less cut and pasted. I like the shot how it's process now.

No sweat here. I might have left a thin band sharp at the gear to mimic a shallow DOF.

Now that's one mean MOFO of a plane... Gotta love it!! Great shot!!! The composition is incredible!

Neat shot, and I can see where you're headed with it, but the fake blur does throw the image for me. I'm just ballparking it, but I would do as PhotosGuy suggested and leave a narrow sharp area from the beginning of the yellow parking line to the edge of the ramp in the background.

Nice - is this a model?

agreed. because the landing gear is so sharp compared to it's immediate surroundings, its somewhat distracting. I like where it's going though, very cool concept.
