Either the 'hog' is really moving or your background's really blurry - good one

Great #2 is perfect. If you're using GIMP, Gaussian blur could be applied to make the backround not quite as clear so it doesn't look like you cleaned up the shot. In other words, for the first three, it looks strange that the bottom of the ground is motion blurred (perfectly) but the top of the land is perfectly still and clear as a button.

But, good shots and I would love to see some sunset shots and some Grand Canyon ones would fit your style perfectly.

Wonderful shots !

You have a real eye for the angle and composition of a good shot.

I didn't wanted the Gaussian blur, didn't wanted to make things unsharp, I wanted motion blur. That in the screen is what I call "perspective motion blur". Take a shot outside while you're in a train, or a bus, the objects/the landscape near you will move faster (backwards) while the far objects in the landscape seems to stand still. In this case, in my case, the plane is "my train", and the camera's flyin' outside parallel to the plane, that's why the plane is clear and the far objects...I know you know what I mean. Maybe it would have helped if the plane was higher. Well, it's just a point of view :)

I really like these. The A-10 is outstanding.

The distant scenery in the first 3 does look a tad too sharp. Looking at it from a photographer's point of view I think it might be better for the background to be out of focus rather than using motion blur.
