Thanks everyone, for your comments. In response: yes, I did "plan" this, but, in the 20-MPH winds I was shooting in, catching a shot of this flying piece of newspaper was tough :). Ergo, composition was kind-of far from my mind. I did base this on the idea from American Beauty, though it's been a while since I saw tha tmovie. I guess, from the responses, I was close enough. I am curious as to what you think would have made a better background? (those of you who commented on that). I have to say I am pretty pleased with the result. My first entry with a DLSR, my highest rating (by a lot), and a top 25 finish, Woo! Again, thanks for the comments.

A good idea but the result doesn't hold my attention sufficiently. A more interesting background might have made a bolder statement.
