| What an Image! First time I've seen it, only been here a couple of weeks. I'm going down the beach to see if I can get something remotely close to this quality. |

| I'm sorry but this is a MILLION BILLION times better than the ribbon winners from this challenge. This is totally kickass, and it's on my short list of favorite photos. |

| This is by far the best poto in the motion blur contest. The woting for this photo is just nonsense (3x2 3x7 19x4) |

Greetings from the Critique Club...
Hi Flip...
This photograph was a breath of fresh air when I first saw it. On the shallow side of things, I must say that this really captures the essence of motion blur.
The surrealism that you present in this photograph is just amazing to me. I can get lost in this image. It makes me feel like I'm walking in a dream. I can hear the sounds and feel the cool, damp sand beneath my bare feet. It's a good feeling. When you create a photo that stirs such emotions with viewers, you have a great work. Have you ever seen a photo that amazed you so much you were jealous that you didn't make it? ;)
I have read through the comments you received on this image. Everyone seems to like it as much as I do, except for about one person. This particular person has managed recently make my list of people whose opinions and comments are discarded without thought. I have read through a lot of other comments from this person, and they seem to be quite illogical and just plain idiotic in some cases. When I see a person who repeats that behavior over and over, I just begin to ignore them and write their opinions off as worthless. This person makes posts in the forums occasionally that just solidify my opinion. You probably know who I'm talking about and I won't drag anyone out into public. It's not worth the effort.
Kudos on an excellent photograph and I hope you fill your albums with many more like it...
John Setzler

| Undoubtly the best shot in the "Motion Blur" challenge, a superb example of the challenge requirement. Beautiful colour and light, it has an oil painting come pastel feel about it, very Turneresque. You should put this one up for sale, or at least pass me an A3 printable copy. |

This is a photograph of the flock of seagulls that live on our local beach (Lake Michigan on Thorndale and Sheridan in Chicago). Every afternoon, there's an old lady who feeds the flock. This particular afternoon, I was taking pictures of them while they were resting on the beach near the water. All of a sudden, they took off and flew streaming toward the street away from the lake. I thought that a dog was coming toward them. Sometimes they take off when a dog is nearby. But it turned out that the old lady was approaching the lake, but she was still half a block away, still across the street. But the birds just knew. I was just lucky to be there. Out takes in my profile.
Thanks again for all your interest and support. |

Thank you all for your great comments and encouragement. This challenge has been a real joy ride, I mean, roller coaster ride, (especially after the April fool's joke) (and top ten is not bad at all). Thanks again!

| Cool effect. Has a very "artsy" feel. Almost looks like an oil painting. By far one of my favourites. I'll be very disapointed if you don't finish top-10. |

Beautiful picture. May be a little too abstract and arty for the DPC crowd. Great sense of depth here. Vivid impression of speed and movement. I'm sure you could have got more sharpness from the clearest bird though (in Photoshop).
Edit: My favourite shot this challenge! |

| This is a wonderful expression of speed. The gulls (terns)? flying almost at ground level and the chaotic nature of their flight is caught very well. They never seem to collide. |

| Lovely shot, normally I'd like either the subject OR the bckground to be in focus but you have shown that wherever there is a rule, it's there to be broken. Absolutely excellent shot, one of my faves in this challenge. 10 |

| An unbelievably good photograph - I love pretty damn nearly everything about this, it might well be my all time favourite on this site. Just awesome - not so much for the motion blur and all that, but the sheer MOOD of it. Perfect. Everything else in this challenge pales into insignificance ... |

| This is like a painting and appeals to me a great deal, although I didn't expect it to at first. I like that there is one bird towards the centre that is more in focus than the others. It has a very calming feel. Beautiful blue and gold colours. |

My first WOW in this challenge. I love the near abstract composition, the "paint" feeling, and the colors are amazing. Just one bird mostly in facus and sharp is a great plus.
And it fits definitively the challenge . 10 (my first so far). Good Luck. |
