Love the bokeh. Would have preferred the first two flowers to be in focus, though.

When photographing something like this, I like to have my focus hit the flowers nearest the camera. Otherwise, the eyes hunt for what is in focus, instead of being led through the image.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the challenge

Ah Gord, this is just my sort of shot! I love the motion blur and abstract nature of the image but most of all I like the close cropped composition that focusses attention on the sheer dynamics of the motion. There is an other-worldliness about this that is just so appealing it works really well for me and obviously did for many others here too, well done Gord.

the lines on the flesh create beautiful textures.

So simple but yet you captured the right amount of motion, but you can still clearly see the scene. The colors of the sandels add to the impact. My favorite this challenge.

Too much negative space for me. A closer crop would have helped.
