Where's the motion blur? Maybe a little on the railing, but it's not a significant part of the composition.

Impressive but where's the blur...?

Nice down pour! Very monsoon is. Some one though is going to whine about the tree tops or top of the buildings on the right side. Personally, with this down pour, I would have bumped that contrast a bit to get a really smart level of layers. If under those clouds at the lip a little burn could have make them even more of a curl and dramatic.

In my voting this came 7th place, a very sad and desperate picture really. Tugs on anyone that knows what blue juice is and has been there. I am so sorry about the brave foal. The ending for the poor Mum though is happy as she gets another chance. Sorry you guys had to go through this.

Thank you. The image is truly the epitome of despair in my view. I knew it had the potential to totally bomb (which it did) or do very well as composition-wise it's a very good image and it's processed well but it just hits too hard to get to that other side. It's totally authentic but could have been easily staged as well.
