Was trying to pan motorized traffic when the bicycle hove in view. Crop, colour channel mixer, curves, USM, sharpen, scale in the Gimp. Added some noise in Irfanview just to make things worse. Well, someone has to be last, and there didn't seem to be too many entries. At your service, T.
Post edit: this did way better than I expected. Thank you voters for seeing both the degradation and the general idea.

Good panning that is really emphasized by the truck going in the opposite direction. I like the square format here. Probably just needs a tad more contrast. Good stuff. Cheers.
This is great, the grain creates the illusion that the biker is wearing a camouflage outfit and gas mask to escape the grit. Also, it reminds me of one of those "running but standing still" childhood dreams - the panning effect you achieved gives the feeling the bike is drafting backwards. You need to try harder than this if you want to finish last.
