Flying Paper Planes From Grandpa's Roof

Comment by amonteforte:
Thanks all for the comments. I was asked in many of them how I did this photo:

I took a picture of the sunset from my roof, on Friday night. I printed this image, and the next day I went back to the same spot on the roof. I used a very thin fishing line to place the paper plane on the horizon (with my wife’s help), and shoot as many as possible, at all sorts of angles. I used a mirror to light up the paper which of course was too dark against the sunset light, and moved out of focus quite a bit with the wind. Most takes were unusable cause the fishing line showed. It was pretty hard to get it as I imagined it. At the end I had at least as many as 8 options and I will never be sure if I chose the right one. Apparently I didn´t.

Nice idea using the same motive on the paper.
A bit motion blur would be nice to symbolise the movement of the paper plane (in case it really flew and you didn't set it up... Hm do I see a small string across the palm tree? ;-)
Good composition, lighting(!) and focus.
