Nice pan, but flat lighting and a bit too usual.

Moonlit Pier

Comment:
It's one of the few water pics here where blur of waves actually creates notions of stillness, not movement. Nice picture, but doesn't hit the tune of the challenge, imho

Blue

Comment:
What can possibly classify it as motion? Blur of slopping water at the boulders? It's so timid that the first impression is actually one of stillness, not movement

Water

Nice landscape. But I have a feeling it doesn't have much chance among another 30 or so attempts to use water as motion blur. Just too obvious.

Gees, that's so common! Good pic, no worries, but its connection to the challenge is ever so superficial.

Definetely mental. More sharpness on lips and fingers would improve it - feels like focal plane is a bit too far out. But what it lacks technically it certainly has in emotion.

Looks like it's a comment I am going to use widely - but how are we to tell if there was a single light source without being experts on studio lighting? I am not and ready to state this. This picture has an impression of broad, and therefore omnidirectional light and seems to be contradicting the challenge. Nice shot nevertheless.

Nice pic, but not what I term single source. Yeah, it probably was coming out of very large lightbox or something, but isn't that akin to using overcast skies and claiming this was a single source too?

Great! A minor improvement would be upping the center of the flower a fraction of f stop to make it separate from background. But very good idea indeed! First time I am ready to lavish praise on the very first shot I see in a challenge.

How interesting - I was looking at this picture from my office, my sight slightly defocused... I can swear it became 3D! Very good shot.
