Nice composition in this.  It's usually best to motion blur either the background or the object of interest but not both.  You could move the 2nd Hurri more to the right to fill that gap on the right hand side but personally I would just crop a little off that side.

I can see a good shot in this if you persevere..

The one with the background blurred looks much nicer I think.

The aircraft closest to the screen is the more focused on part of the shot, so that shouldnt really be blurred out I dont think. Focal blur on the background is good, and you could try adding motion blur to the further back, higher aircraft.

Hmm, I really cant tell the difference between the hurricane and the spitfire. Ohwell, whatever it is, it looks nice!

Ok this is with the hurricane in the background motion blurred. I think it looks quite good. Ive also found out that one of the effects on Photofiltre is a fog affect (black or white) and it actually looks really good, more like cloud then fog though, so i might use that sometime, anyway what do ya think?

Thanks again, doomfreak777
