Wow! I really liked this shot, but I never dreamed it would score as high as it did! I spent the morning at a popular hangout spot near the beach, shooting passing cars, bikes and bicycles - basically anything that moved. Got a couple of suspicious looks, but in the end it was worth it!

Looks like the suspicious looks you received was totally worth it. Knew this would be the blue as soon as I saw it. I’ve never seen motion blur in the background as perfect as this, was it all in camera or did you edit it afterwards? Those colours vibrated through the screen.

A very well-deserved blue. Also very rare to see just one vote of six and no votes of five. Glad you didn’t get any trolls.

Honestly wasn't sure whether Larry's or this one would be the blue for this challenge; I could have gone either way! My jaw dropped at this one, though. Others have already said it, but both the pristine execution and the "wow" color-pop tonality are just incredible. Congrats!
