Taken at my first track and field events in twenty years. This was fun. So many pics did not work ...and this one seemed to. Not perfect I know that and have no problems with that being the case.

"High Jump Commences" fits perfectly into the Motion Panning challenge. Not too bad of a placement or score, this was a though challenge.
I really think the most important and best aspect of your shot is the focal point being his face. You have captured so much of what makes us human by allowing the focus to be his determination. The blur is nice and shows the fast past movement. I think it the shot would have scored a little higher if there were no other people in the background, but I am sure this was a hard enough shot to take. Also I think you took a brave step with adding such a thick border but it really works for me. The only other thing I would try would be to increase the contrast some jus to make the shot brighter. Great work.
Great shot!! The focus on his face is excellent....shows the determination and concentration, movement of his limbs adds energy. Good work with the panning! Only thing I'm not too fond of is the border which, to me, feels too heavy for the shot.
nice picture, caught the face well with concentration and pretty good focus. I think the border is a bit exessive, I'd prefer to see more image than black border
