Would have worked better if it was sharper, and aligned ... and maybe a shot where the propeller blade does not fall together with the pole?

Without the caption I would not know it was a windmill. Is it crooked on purpose?

A bit skewed and out of focus. Also helps to experiment with other composition styles.

What a marvellously bizarre non-DPC photograph. After the usual string of attempts at shiny happy photography, this makes a refreshing change.

Good idea. But without the title, I wouldn't have known its a windmill. The image is leaning and a little out of focus.

Nice shot, but the motion blur might hurt your score on this one. I'd try cropping a bit off of the top and bottom to accentuate the movement here.

Lots of motion blur here, even on the animal itself. Sorry, 4.

nice idea, but i guess you were hoping no one would notice the 'motion blur'...

i know it's tough to throw these images away, especially when something like this just jumps up right in front of you. but, if you really want to get good, you need to do two things: 1) practice, practice, practice, practice, so that when you have opportunities like this, you can respond quickly and correctly, and 2) delete and move on when you don't get it. it's ok to keep some of them just for the sake of keeping them, but if you care about your scores, don't enter them into challenges without reading the descriptions carefully...

Uh-oh. Fun to look at but you're going to get some big hits on meeting the challenge by stopping the motion and no motion blur trails, etc... I like the placement of the deer in the frame, that's good standard composition for a moving subject to leave space in front. Exposure is good. Good luck in the challenge.

Glad to see someone not overly influenced by Disney's Bambi. Unfortunately the thief is a bit blurred.
