P-51 Abstraction

... Mustang Dream

Not so much an abstract as panning. I think it's cool. Good action.

Nicely down - love the dreamy effect of the illumination fall off on the edges. It really focuses your attention on the plane.

Nice pan! I'd be interested to see it in color, too.

No, I would clearly consider this "abstract" from what I was taught in several years of art class. Much more to this than panning and simple exposure adjustment. Very nicely done!! Creativity in a way not usually seen. Beautiful work!

I agree, very nice!

Thanks to each of you for your comments, I appreciate them.

The panning was not very strong with this one and the backdrop was very ordinary and not interesting color wise. The aircraft has a chrome finish as well, so I decided to work with the tones in black and white then added motion blur on a layer and then painted the plane back out. This one may still be a work in progress - thanks again for your thoughts.
