Doug, the third shot would have been perfect with a better background. Wink
And even with that background, it already looks outstanding  Cool

Concerning the first shot, I see what you wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, it doesn't work so well, mainly because of the angle of view: it doesn't produce any sensation of speed, so the screenshot gives the impression that the plane is just hovering there. Next time, try another angle, something with the camera next to the water, emphasizing the small distance between the floats and the water ?... Hmmm, the more I think about it, the more I understand that this one is not going to be easy... not at all...

From the 4th shot onwards, they are all good, especially the 5th  Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
