this is a really cool shot...if only you would have been able to control the illumination better, it would have been perfect

Hey, isn\'t that a Chinese character(letter)? I really like the tiny off-shoots from the main stream. Good exposure. Happy New Year!

Great use of motion, and this is elevated above others in that it also tells a story too many are familiar with! ;0)
Great set up.. great tones...excellent use of imagination and imagery.

Great motion on this, fits the challenge perfectly.
The line down the right hand side is very distracting though. Maybe this should have been cropped into a more squarish shape now that the rules allow it?
Still a very good shot. Well done.

Gavel is wonderfully clear. It the thing that's being hit was clearer, it would be a 9 or 10. I'm giving you and 8. Motion passed - Inspzil

Comment by Gracious:
Good take on the challenge. The motion is undeniable in more ways than one, including the play on words. I like the rich, warm coloring of the wood, and the pattern of the grain. The bg works well to isolate the subject.
Composition is good, and includes interesting lines such as diagonal, and curve. Good idea, well executed.
