I realize full well that this image is "technically flawed", yet I love it!
Was I insane to enter something with this much motion blur when I had several perfectly sharp ones, too?

I bet I'll get oodles of comments that it is blurred, but hey - this one is for ME! I love the way it shows the motion and has so much vibrant energy.

Post processing: converted from RAW, then some minor tweaks of curves and contrast. Neat image, fixed red eyes, slight crop, resize, USM, save for web.

::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
One of my favorite images in this challenge. Quite frankly, I expected a higher score from it.

Composition:
Love it, nice use of negative space fill with streaks of color.

Subject:
Subject is strong and contrasts well against the blurred streaks of other is the background and by the use of lighting on the gril. Great use of shutter speed.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
Technicals are good. Focus is sharp on your subject, color is very strong and lighting is wonderful.

To grow its vote?:
Beg, plead, cheat, steel? I honestly can't see why it didn't score higher. Perhaps the voters were looking for bigger crowds with the feel of some of the "famous" street photogs.

Summary:
Awesome work, I'm in love with this photo.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

She's singled out, alright. :) I am not sure I like the motion blurs in this shot: I don't think they were intentional.

a skater-girl would imply one who skateboards/skates aggressively... and that t-shirt bugs me, not that you chose it - if someone loves their attitude problem, they don't have one.

You've really nailed this and made it a top pic int eh challenge with not only the DOF but motion blur as well

Not sure if this is shallow DOF or motion, and really don't care ... this is a great capture.
