Nice job keeping the subject crisp. I like the contrast of the classic cold metal swing with the warm modern style.

A truly dynamic and timeless image.
Have you considered doing this in black & white?
Often the colors are a distracting element and our brains work harder studying them, then absorbing the emotions in an image.

Love it, feels natural and the blur works really well.

The motion works well in this one...

I personally would have rather more of the face in this shot, instead the eyes go straight to the chest. IMO

Sorry did not work for me...(too much movement)

Interesting, looks like something from the 60's/70's. Good motion panning but I'd almost like to see more negative space in front of her than behind her. The pole in the background is distracting.
