 Keeping it simple. This turned out pretty much exactly as I'd envisioned, so i definitely can't complain!

Playing with shadows has become a new past-time :O)

Grabbed the top sheet from the printer stack, and this was the first plane I've made in around 20 yrs

Had a ton of lights setup, but ended up just using the overhead flourescent lights in my kitchen! Kept moving the setup away from the light source, and turning the entire thing to get the right effect.

PP:
Convert from RAW
Lightroom:
Crop
Convert to B&W
Vignette

CS3:
curves
cloned out some specs & sensor dust
slight clone of the support (an Aquafina bottle cap)
- you could barely see it after the contrast curve
resize
usm
border
sfw

There's always some very intricate, imaginative entries here when it comes to paper. Hope the simplicity of this does okay, as I really love the final look. :O)

Although there are a lot of paper airplanes this time around, you captured some excellent light and shadow, making your picture stand out amongst the rest. wee done, worth a 9.

Ohh, very stylish lighting. There's some very cool planes in this challenge, and the simple plane looks a little bland by comparison, although it is elegant. I'd like to see some colour left in this image. The total BW loses all warmth.
