Thanks everyone, for comments and votes on this one. I know it is really bad, but I only had a few minutes on a working day to get a shot, and this was the only one interesting to me. A reshoot would be with higher shutter speed for less blur.
This is tomatoes coming out of a "bin box" into the "dump tank" at a packing house. They dump a 2' deep X 4X4' box every 2 minutes into the water when it is running. They are sorted by computer with cameras by color, and for imperfections, then boxed into 25 lb shipping boxes. They were about $ 3.50 per 25 lb box for a long time early this season. They get a big mark-up on the way to the grocery store. The largest part of the mark up goes to middle men who broker sales and buying for chain stores. These are "Roma" variety tomatoes.

Initially looked at this as peas & carrots. Roma is the cheapest tomato at my store. I am impressed with the idea and the result fyi 7

Good concept, but the focus needs to be much sharper.

I like this, the only slight changes I would make would be to straighten the horizontals (may just be a personal thing) and that there doesn't seem to be any one part of the picture clearly in focus. Nice motion blur though.

I love the idea. It would have been nice if the something in the shot was in focus. Like the veggies that haven't fallen in yet. Lighting seems good.

faster shutter speed may have helped you capture that 'stopped action' feel that I think you were going for ...
