Greetings from the Critique club. I have looked over your image and have some comments and suggestions for you. First off meeting the challenge, you did that well. You have a definate pattern. This image scored poorly and there are reasons why. First off the motion blur doesnt work well with this pattern. Although it works on some photos I'm not sure it works here. It actually gives me a headache to look at it very long. I understand the 3d thing, and if I cross my eyes I can see it. However the voters arent going to do that while voting. I think you may have done better with this photo to use the pattern and use a few checkers to set it off. Good luck with future challenges.

Greetings from the Critique club. After spending some time reviewing your photo I have a few suggestions on how you might have score better. First though cute child. Nice focus on the nose, its definately the focal point of your shot and ties in well with the challenge. The username you chose was tough to pull off, and that may have hurt your score a little. I'm not sure how you could have finished off the the prints, maybe a little peice of glass pressed lightly to the nose to give the "prints" portion of the username. The color seems a little off, not sure if its a white balance issue or a saturation issue. But it does take away from the photo and the score reflects that. Might have even tried B&W to see if that helps. Good luck with future challenges.

This is a bit too blurry, it is a good representaion of a pattern, and would have scored higher if it were not for that.

At first I didn't like it, but then the movement blur kicked in and gave it a nice effect.

I'm drunk. You know what? the longer I stare at this, the better it seems. I see motion in here, I mean the picture actually seems to be moving here. I am going to give it a 10. way to go.

Interesting - not my taste though. Seems unfocused - maybe that was what you were aiming for.

Motion blur?

Looks like you shot this with a slow shutter and moved the camera. It just makes it look like a blurry photo of a checkerboard. The blur distracts from the pattern.

Fits the challenge for sure, but I don't personally like the apparent motion blur.
