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.

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.
