Holy motion blur Batman!

One of the really underrated images from the challenge. There where a couple of other photos that used the zooming in/out motion blur technique so I wonder why so many folks didnt get it.

That is just cruel :P It's a great shot though. Everything looks perfect. A version without the collar would be a great shot in anyone's portfolio.

9, just because I'm an animal lover and just the though of it... well you know ;) but I get the humor and am not offended. Hope this does well.

Thanks for your kind comments everyone.

Unlike some dragonflies that seem very jumpy and dont let you come close and fly away from just a hint of movement this one didn't. It did fly away if I wasn't too careful but then landed back on the same branch in a few minutes. I had no luck in coming this close to the smaller green dragonflies in the area.

Congratulations :) I had a very good hint this was yours. Has Larus' style written all over it ;) which I do like btw. Though some more motion blur would've been nice I still found it good enough.

I'll quote ya ;)

"don´t think it has enough motion blur or image quality for the voters to react well"

I can understand where you're coming from though, I too underrate or underestimate my work sometimes(maybe most of the time) but this image is oozing with image quality.

Vibram - The Million Mile Hiking Boot

Really nice shot. I like how the background complements the boots, it's the perfect environment for them. This is so good, this shot would work great as an ad for the manfucturer of this pair of boots.

The background in that shot is really wonderful, love those yellow/golden tones. Beautiful capture.

Great find! A very unique and interesting scene to come across. I think this shot would've worked better without the motion blur to bird's head, the blur actually detracts from the overall image.
