The smoke helps enhance the sense of motion while the parallel with the statue works for me, my eyes are drawn from the plane to the statue and back, I cannot help compare and in that the photo succeeds. The smoke and the mountain also inter sect and at the junction the eye again will follow the line to either plane or statue. Its a good photo, it has contrast and while busy it does have variable points of interest. Nice Photo.

No, it's not Photoshopped :) Another suggestion I have and use is playing with white balance. I don't know if that's considered to be a little too creative though. Here's a link to a recent example of mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/feenixfoto/5377207752/in/set-72157625935251164/ Two things: I think placing a moving object in this type of configuration adds to the illusion of speed and movement.

Who knows? The picture is (hopefully without sounding like a card carrying photo club freak) a creative experience that you play with until it's right.
