I like the blur here, adds an urgency and a ferocity to it.

Nice shot of jaguar. Don't know if I really like the execution and processing so much.

Nice capture. The movement adds to this pic...some might vote lower because of it.

I find the blur too distracting.

I'll be curious to find out if you are getting beat up in voting on the motion blur. I think it adds something to this particular subject.

Interesting shot. Effective use of motion blur.

Interesting sense of motion going on here. The composition works well with it too.

Just enough blur to show speed without losing the detail. Well done.

I really like the effect here, it makes me think he's running
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Amazing capture you have here. Love the sence of motion here and how you were able to capture it. Well done!

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. Some may not like the motion blur that obscures the sharp details on this predator but I like it for it adds a high degree of movement to what could be static. This jaguar looks like he is running at top speed perhaps we are watching as he is running down his prey. He is on the hunt and the motion blur strongly emphasizes that action to me. The colors are fabulous! One other thing I want to mention is that the longer I look I think of another way to look at your composition. With the blur it takes on an impressionistic look to it. Like the painter had to use quick brushstrokes to capture what he/she saw as it was occuring or mayhap from memory of what was seen that day.

Dramatic

very emotional image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:57:38 AM
Great focus on the eyes. This is a great action shot without being scary (because the Jaguar is not looking at ME!).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:26:35 AM
Motion is nice but where to use this?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:11:35 AM
I don't think the blur adds to this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:21:55 AM
another one those shots that encourage debate, I like it , 6

beautiful suggestion of motion and danger.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:36:59 PM
Not a fan of action shots that blur the subject. I think it would have been more effective to keep the jaguar in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:09:50 PM
cool sense of motion
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:58:15 PM
The motion captured here is great! It provides a neat effect.

This looks speedy. Nice to see some points in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:01:35 PM
good idea, but the movement doesn't seem natural, is that post processing or how it was shot?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:35:18 AM
Cool image but not to a popular taste I fear. I hope you can pull down one of the side awards for this. You have earned it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:25:32 PM
I'm betting a lot of people just plain don't like this, but I think it's quite well done. The motion blur gives an abstract feel that is quite wonderful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:12:11 PM
not very impressive
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:21:03 PM
Processing seems a little blocky, but the image is arresting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:35:59 PM
To much blur for me but I love the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:18:49 AM
Fun motion to this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:53:08 PM
to bad your subject was moving so much...it is distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:34:30 PM
I like the "movement" in this and the feeling of being his prey. Well, maybe I don't like feeling like his prey, but it does feel like it "involves" the viewer more than just looking at it.
