This is one of the African Acrobats from Kenya, who performed at our school.

I love the blur on this shot, and especially love the hand and forearm focus. It shares the strength of the performer.

I have a feeling it will be too much in focus for the voters. Oh, well.

Blurry, but not very messy. Great action shot though.

A excellent photo: well exposed a framed - the added blur gives an idea that this is by no means a static performance.

That's got to take some skill!
A modest amount of blur, but no mess here.

while there is blur,and this is a great image,i think its too clean for a blurry mess challenge

like the way you focused on the one supporting hand, works very well as a visual pivot point. 8

Nice capture, the movement gives me a sense of how much effort the guy is putting into holding himself there ... not really chaotic and disorganized, quite the opposite I think ... It's certainly an engaging and interesting photo though
