This was my highest score for the challenge. Having spent so much time trying to get ANY subject in focus, let alone one this large in the frame, I couldn't but admire the refined technique exhibited here. :-) A well-earned Blue!

Even though I realize it isn't the most "technically" well-executed motion panning shot, this was my personal favorite in the challenge, as I find the residual blur of a subject in motion quite compelling when it's accentuated by tasteful editing. And that's definitely what you've got here. I could easily see this on a metallic print sitting in an urban cycle shop or coffee bistro. :-)

LOL - One in 768 sounds about right from my experience trying to grab something for this challenge! Congrats on the patience it took to capture this prize-worthy shot. If I had had the time and occasion to do so, I had in mind to try for something very similar to this at a nearby roller skating rink. The low lighting REALLY adds to the challenge, I imagine. :-)

Love the gritty, lived-in edit on this one.

This was a favorite for me, and the simplicity and elegance of its execution is what kept drawing me back for another look. I've decided it feels like a cheeky cover image for a mental health article on masking and impression management. :-)

Congrats on a well-earned Red here. A top pick for me. I wanted to comment on this in voting, but then as now I struggle to articulate what about this is so effective for me. All I know is it registers as exotic, emotionally evocative, and just plain artistically compelling--something greater than the sum of its component images.

Sublime. Surreal. Contains multitudes. A terrific example of an image artistically bridging the gap between the legible and the ephemeral.

Portrait of Unrest

Quite an achievement, this one is. But the most impressive thing about it isn't the refined compositing technique--exceptional as that is. It's the way the artist's intention and expression shine through in the execution rather than getting overwhelmed by it. Bravo!

Chef's kiss on the title for this one. And a striking, gallery-worthy composite, at that. Invites lingering and reflection, instantly accessible yet containing layers of interest for further dialogue. A top pick for me this challenge.

Astounding detail and a science textbook-worthy illustration of exoskeletal detail on this subject. If this is composed using focus stacking, I really covet some tutorials on how to achieve this level of precision with a macro. And the color processing is superb, to boot!
