Penguin

This is a really cute shot, very well-done, and in any other challenge would do far better than I imagine it's doing here, because everything is (relatively) sharp. For a motion panning shot you need a slowish shutter speed, so that as you track the moving subject, the background and other stationary objects will blur. But wow, what a good-looking penguin picture.

Nicely shot, but not the most compelling subject.

It does look like you and s/he were having fun! Unfortunately there's no motion panning here.

Well done. Textbook example of motion panning, with good colors and an intense expression to boot.

Skimming the Lake

Nice job. The bird's body is nice and sharp, while his blurred wings and the blurred water show his movements. You know, I might have cropped out the land in this shot. But that's probably just me.

An evocative shot, but nothing in the image is sharp. Motion panning ideally causes one moving object to be sharp while surrounding objects are blurred.

Gorgeous motion shot. No panning, though. Panning involves a following a moving subject with the camera, so that the subject is sharp, and stationary objects are blurred. This shot (while very, very attractive, and probably a high scorer in a different challenge) has the opposite effect.

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that the concept of panning involves following a moving subject with the camera so that the background (and possibly the foreground) are blurred. This is a fun shot, but doesn't fit this particular challenge. Also, just in general, I'd have cropped out the lighter area at the top of the photo; it's a bit distracting.

Nice job! His expression and his movements work together to give an air of intensity, and you captured that well.
