Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: Impressionistic, almost abstract. A picture that strives to meet the criteria you name in the title...but I am afraid the 'etc' at the end led voters to pick apart your shot.

Technical: Strong comp, diffused light help a lot. Good blur and rule of thirds are apparent, but I would expect an exposure of at least 1 second before I would call it a long exposure. I would have added Motion Panning as the third element.

Artistic: DPCers love pretty colours, or at least a big hit of saturation on what colour is available. The relatively bland palette you had to work with may have cost you a few points. However you did get a Posthumous ribbon, and that is an honour!

Overall: I think it's an honest attempt to meet the criteria stated. Keep shooting!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

really like the camera motion (blur) with this...you can tell enough of what it is without taking away from the picture...well done

It must be tough to put in a blur shot into a challenge like this, as even blur shots in their own challenges often get knocked around with low votes. This shot, however, is very strong. The blur adds nicely to the shot, it is very well composed, and creates a rural/prairie feel to it. Good luck.

Nice abstract. I don't think it will score high here, but I'll help a bit ;-)
