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.

Simple Joy. . . Priceless!

What an interesting moment you captured. Makes you wonder if she is enjoying their company or just laughing at the moment.

I felt that a grayish color, or by using a yellow-black duotone would have potrayed the mood of the photo better. However I am just a new bie..so I might be wrong...

I too like the movement of the people walking. I wonder how this would look as a b&w? :)
