Throughout, was wishing one of the shots with my daughter on one of the carousel horses would have worked out better!

before>> the opposite of intended??! looks like you're on the merry-go-round effectively capturing the stationary horse while the world moves about you..... clever.....
after>> I understand that this was in fast a true "motion pan" -- just goes to show how well executed this was! and in somewhat dim light too!
excellent image, but i bet it's getting comments all over the map related to panning vs tracking. it really does appear that you were right there beside the horse, as opposed to being on the ground, shooting it as it went by...
Nice image, good focus but looks more like the background is moving rather than the camera. Moving the camera, of course, is what motion panning is. Unfortunately, a still camera and moving background may be assumed by some voters.
Cool! I bet you 'cheated' by being ON the merry-go-round while shooting... So this is more motion blur than motion panning :P
Nonetheless, you've captured the spirit of the ride! 6
