    Star Wars Falcon

    Here is a star wars model that I photographed. It is about 6inchs across. What are your thoughts?

    I added a bit of motion blur to the image along with an engine glow. My goal was to make a cool looking shot that might be in a magazine.

    The motion blur gives the impression of jumping (or not jumping) into light speed, however it looks like it's coming from the bottom. Nice subject though...I'm a huge SW fan.

    It's a bit red. Was the original ship that color?

    The background is very special (ie special effect), but it sure looks like it's exploding from the ship, not the path that the Falcon is taking (off by about 30 degrees). Sorry to be technical, but depending on your audience it may be important.

    I've been meaning to comment on this and the blur, yeah, it should the blur streaks should go in the direction (from where you have star wars millenium falcon towards your copy right info) opposite to the ship's travel. i don't mind the reddish tent as it shows off speed, it also compliments the reddish tint of the background.
