I think this might look better if the image was level. Then again the downward slope also implies motion as well. Tough call.

sorry. This isn't motion panning. There is motion but motion panning involves tracking a moving subject with the result being a sharp subject and a blurred background.

Needs a bit longer exposure to get more sense of motion. The background just looks soft and not really blurred by motion

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a hard subject to photograph. If you expose the glass properly then your background doesn't have that nice white seamless look to it. I think the only way to overcome the problem is lighting the background and the subject. I'd be curious to see the lighting setup.

The icecream / frozen dessert it a bit out of focus as well. I think that the fluid at the bottom is also distracting but that might be debatable.

As for the challenge? In my opinion this was a shoe horn. Not as bad as some of the entries but it was a bit of a stretch and I think a lot of the voters might have agreed. I do understand the concept you were trying to convey so when I encountered this image during voting I didn't deduct for not meeting the challenge. (I generally only do that when the shot clearly doesn't meet the challenge).

Processing is a little heavy handed. I can see haloing especially around the cross.
