 Just a guy riding his bike. I played with the blur to enhance it a bit, using a radial blur layer and then erasing most of it and making the center of the bike a touch more focused.

Very nice.. I like the way the blur has distorted the rider's features, and the capture has made it seems as though a few spokes are in foucs. The sense of energy is evident, but the other elements made out of the distortion are what really interest me.

Great composition. Your processing choices really enhanced the sense of speed and movement. Great shot! :)

JUDY!! were you driving again? :)

this is super; the composition works very well; one of the things I like the most is the effect on the wheel spokes

One of my favorite subjects and it works very well blurred. (Particularly with an entire peleton in glorious team colors against a field of sunflowers, but hey, you gotta shoot what's available...) The thing I'm not sure of in this is an apparent halo both in front of and behind the cyclist. I can see one or the other as a function of the motion, but not both, and I suspect that may be due to the processing.

Your next effort turned out awesome! There is enough detail to give you a real feel for the scene you are drawn into but enough blur to make it look abstract and textured. It also looks awesome in black and white.

Hmm. I'm not sure whether I like this. I definitely like motion panning when the subject's sharp. I'll have to look for a bit longer.

This is nicely done. If it were mine I'd add some vignette to the corners, not too much, just a hint, to contain it.
