Great Shot Alessandro and congrats on the blue!! If such were obvious, I'd say the same thing. In this case the railing gives the whole thing away. The camera is still "panning" in one direction...and for those who say the subject isn't moving...go spin on a merry-go-round for an hour ;-) Well, the one thing that's true about DPC : Appealing to the voters is far more important than meeting the terms of the challenge.

I definitely disagree with you there; a great photo that doesn't meet the challenge won't do all that well in votes...in this case we had both a great photo AND one that met the challenge..it was both creative and well executed... and the voters spoke with giving it a blue ribbon...can't ask for more than that.

Firstly congrats Alessandro...a definitely deserved blue!!
In my book it's definitely motion panning...just because it's on a Tripod and on the merry-go-round doesn't mean it isn't. The camera is still following the subject. If the camera was connected to a vehicle and followed a runner...nobody would say anything...there is no difference. Well done Alessandro...great example!
