I very much appreciate the departure from making the most prominent bit your subject. Downplaying the actual stopped motion is interesting, nice. I'm torn, requesting the bird have wings spread or folded. Spread, we are drawn to a better example of stopped motion, closed, and we have a greater downplay of the idea and thus a greater appreciation for it existing within (but not completely interrupting) a scene that departs from the prompt. A hard question.

Good idea, but due to the nature of the shot, a general lack of composition is noteworthy.

Still significant blur and lack of clarity. A faster shutter was needed here.

I appreciate you subject mater but the true subject would've been better served by a macro treatment, to truly show the grains of snow. As is, the stopped motion is but a minor character, undiscernable.

Excellent stopped motion. Not sure about centered comp, but very good capture in every sense otherwise. Wonderful soft light, wonderful depth.

On track for the win

The stopped motion of the rider's face is great. I'd like to see a bit more, more detail in the rest of the scene, considering the prompt.

Excellent photo. The light actually works quite well, simulating a true copy machine. Serendipity at its best, congrats.
