 Taking advantage of current news ... printed up the words and characters onto paper at work, then folded up into a standard paper airplane design. My son Isaac and my friend Rich took turns tossing it back and forth while I tried to capture a decent motion panning shot.

And can use a rubber band for propulsion rather than jet engines.

Nicely created plane, and the capture during flight works. The dof and bg don't add to this shot, just leave it as ordinary.

That's why I wanted to use this version where I highly-accentuated the motion blur, but I was informed that it was "too much" ...

Nice idea, but a better background would have made a big difference in the impact

Nice work on the panning, and great light on the plane. Would be even better if the plane was bigger, but I suspect you are already cropped right in.
