This is pretty bloody awesome! Love the almost abstract quality with the blurred "peas". I'm sure that's probably not what they are, but it reminds me of peas in a pod. Very cool and beautifully flowing lines of composition.

This is gorgeous... You have such a wonderful eye for natural macro shots - plus your choices of color tones work beautifully.

Cool capture with some cool color tones. The movement works with the overall mood too.

Terrific capture of motion and the lightness of the egret against the darkness of the background makes for a much more interesting and artistically balanced photo. The fact that the head & feet are "somewhat" in focus really grounds this image. Terrific range of motion captured in the wing movement.

This is such a major step forward from your first attempt. Love the reds and the vague "focus" on the engine & train cars. This shows good movement and good motion blur with cool colors.

I think this is a good exercise in becoming more accustomed to feeling comfortable with blur. And I agree that I think you'll be more satisfied with the results when you make the blur compliment the feeling or movement of the base image. To me the blur here doesn't really serve a specific purpose (other than to be blurred). And in some cases that may work, but not sure it does here.

Don't get me wrong - I was at a COMPLETE loss for blurred inspiration, but after seeing some of the results of other people's work, I'm starting to grow into some very new, very novel perspectives.

This is just stunningly beautiful. Reminds me of an "old world" pic - classy and elegant. Wonderful achievement.

Beautiful editing here. The dodge & burn is superbly accomplished... Just enough light & dark to emphasize the areas you want - without overdoing it. Well done.
