I like it, though I personally would like to see more spherical blur around the propellors! ;)

Very nice, M8! Has a lot of interest to it. Lots to see!  :)

Keep playing around with props until you get something that you like and which works well for you. It will come. The more you do it the faster you'll get to where you want to be.  ;)

I think that you have a good eye for tehcnically assessing your own images so I'll leave that to you. If I were to offer a single suggestion it would be to crop a good bit off the bottom of the image and see how that looks to you. I tried it at home with a copy of your image and to my eye it really gave it more focus, power and balance.  8-)

Thanks m8. I could have sworn I did that but looking at it, I obviously didn't :-? ;D

Maybe you did and maybe it's right where you want it to be! You are the author so it's your call 100%!  :)

I cropped it twice and it STILL wasn't enough for my eye! Only on the third crop, after I took off much more than I thought I should, did I find the "sweet spot" for me!  ;)

I think that part of it has to do with the amount bright light. The eye wants to go right to the light and thus is pulled away from the subjects which are much darker. Just a theory!  8-)
