What a difficult challenge trying to find something to move for me.(After my friends refused to run up and down a hill for me to get a moving shot and the birds only decided to fly a huge distance away from the camera!) Eventually spotted this horse parading up and down its field.
Cropped, USM and some hue sat adjustments

Pretty horse. My initial impression was to see this as a static head shot with some shake because the head is so prominent and mostly sharp. The background and mane give away the motion, but my eyes are having difficulty reconciling the overall compostion. It does make for an intersting perspective compared to the other gallop pictures.
Nice color and lighting, The panning doesn't really convey motion to me, it just looks like a photo taken with a shallow DOF. You can tell that there was some lateral movement but it's not pronounced enough
