I like the subject matter and the blur; not sure about all the empty space at the top.

You've got the motion panning thing down! I look forward to more of these from you.

I really like the composition and overall feel of it. I wish he were a little clearer, just so I knew it was a person without reading your notes. But hey, you got a good shot under fast-changing circumstances. Well done!

Very interesting shapes resulted from your twirl. Nice colors, too.

Street Legal?

Another great street shot with terrific composition. I just love how the focus is all on him with the blurred background. That tells me he's the point, while to him, the world zipping by doesn't much matter.

Ah, this is great! Could be something out of a car ad. I really like how the car is clear while the one-way sign blurs out. This one also benefits greatly from having the car left of center and driving into the frame.

You really have an eye for colors and movement. :) I think you'd get an interesting size contrast if you cropped so the top left corner moved to the top left corner of the yellow striped area. Also, you seem to have some sensor dust on the right side - isn't it funny how blurring makes that visible? I've had the same problem with some of my blur shots.

Again, I like the colors and blur a lot. I also like the framing of the green on the left. Maybe it's your style style, but it feels like you center your subjects a lot. I prefer subjects off-center most of the time. In this case, I'd bring the right edge in somewhere within the door.
