I simply love this shot. During voting I smiled at the sight of the paper airplane. I had considered it but never thought of using sheet music to do it with. Your choice of music for the challenge represents this challenge even more than the plane.

Your focus is just to soft on everything with nothing really in focus and had you had the focus a little cleaner it would improve this greatly. The background is also very distracting in this shot. I a not sure what it is but the lines in it pull your attention away.

Very creative and clever attempt at this challenge.

Nice composition. Good focus. Looks a little oversharpened - not too keen on the bright outlines of some parts. I like the colourisation, nice editing. I'm not sure if this meets the challenge.

This is where you need rear-curtain sync on the flash (no, my camera doesn't have it either). Because the flash has fired at the beginning of the exposure, the trail is 'in front' of th plane and that's made it look like it's flying backwards. Nice try, though.

You started with a clever concept - nice that it is not a bird or a plane. But your execution falls short. Actually I'm not sure what this is. THe folded paper plane had possibilites. I don't need to tell you that the focus is off, did you mean it to be? Is the lower sheet music supposed to be buzzing or something? Does it add to your composition?

Clever idea. It would be nice if the sheet music were more clear.

Good try. I can't understand what is causing the line above the score, a reflection of what? It makes the score look out of focus. The composition is too centered or static, or somehow not right. Is the flat score moving?

Very original. What is the glow around the top of the music paper? It gives it a blurry effect. I also would have cropped it a little differently, it seems too tight to me.

Very clever, especially when I noticed the song title.
