Comment by BrennanOB:
This is a shot that rewards slow inspection. I love the little holes of focus and the oblongs of blur. I agree with skewsme about the top distracting from the action even it if provides much needed green for the challenge, it steals power. If you view a shot for 3 seconds in scoring, this level of complexity is tough to enjoy, and on that level it is a "meh" shot, not super green, not at all simple. The correlation between a great photograph and great entry in a challenge is not robust.

The texture in the bridge is pretty cool, even though the processing is a little over the top for my taste. The image seems to have a slightly desaturated look, which kind of suits it.

I suppose I'm not a huge fan of motion blur since my brain really likes order, and I struggled with the mix of heavy versus light lines and the opposition of blurred and nearly in focus. The main part of this image that really didn't connect with me was the blur of the whites of the shirts, it was just too big a white blur and then at the next second below were bike tires almost in focus. Was just a bit to uneven for me I think.

Ver well judged tones. A border I actually like and I love the scratches. The overlay on the left - not so much.

I do feel transported though, you've conveyed a real moment very well.

really beautiful!! fwiw my eyeballs keep wanting to crop off the top 1/4 but my brain isn't sure why.

I am a big fan of this type photography. Love the motion, color and emotion that is brought out by introducing a dimension of time.

However, I am bothered (distracted) by the two areas of desaturated color. They seem out of place and artificial, esp in contrast with the similar areas that were highly saturated and contrasty. Even so, I would have place you much higher.

I gave this an 8 so surprised to see it not finish higher but then again my entry did terrible in this challenge and I don't think it is awful

I like the reflection on this. Would have preferred more colour.

What a great photo, Deb! I would say that it should have scored much higher, but have learned that blur photos are under appreciated here.
