This was my first try ever; I never entered a challenge nor have I ever tried any panning shots as I have only been into photography for 3 & 1/2 weeks. I must say for a first try I am quite pleased although I know that it not a winner, I would appreciate any constructive criticism :)

This one meets challenge, and I can tell that panning was used. I wish that the background offered some sort of exciting color or something to make it higher scoring image.
The yellow flowers really help withthe feel of motion. The overall composition is a bit dark for my taste. I might have zoomed out a little to allow the pavement, shrubs, and sky (buildings) to create a nice division of thirds.
good job stopping the cycle. a little shadows/highlights might have helped bring out some more details in the bike itself. yellow flowers in the bg give it a nice sense of motion
