I like the tones and the comp.Back lighting gives the bird a bit of a halo.

Good use of shallow DOF to isolate the gull however I think that the image is a little underexposed. Using a highlight/shadow adjustment or curves/levels I think could help with this.

looks like some cheap filter in stead of real panning..

Would have been nicer to see more of the bike

This is artificial motion (of course you already know that hahah) and it could've worked but it's not technically correct. Depending on what part of the subject someone is looking at the motion blur is going in a totally different direction than it should be. Less is more.

I may be doing you a dis-service by only giving you a 7 for this photo, because it is a good one of the cyclist, but to my untrained and novices eyes, it looks like the cyclist has been cut from another photo and stuck onto a different background. I am not suggesting that is what you have done, it's just how it appears to me and I will probably be eating my words at the end of the challenge!!

Wow...if somehow this was done with basic editing...you will win. I'll assume it is going by the rules.

If the whole bike was in the shot I would give it a 10.

Hoping this is a legit shot....I'll give it a 9.

Nicely dynamic photo. The cyclists intense gaze into the future adds to the drama and colour smears... 9.
