 It's been a goal of mine to get one of those really cool shots where you are zooming in/out and create a sense of depth and distorted perception. Think I finally got it.

Actually, the log building shown here probably was a house about 100 years ago. I had just finished bringing horses in and the sun was casting all these great shadows, so I had lots of fun zooming in/out while running (and trying to not slip and fall into the snow, mud and whatever else you find in pastures) with an open shutter :-)

Well done. You have captured the motion very well. I like the BW tones and the whole composition. 9.

Wow, that title makes this shot really creepy. The motion captures the sense of a mad dash very nicely.

Seems you had more motion in your head than abstract, although it's better than I have seen on a lot of others. Wish it had been much more abstract. Nevertheless I voted it above average.

Fantastic job with the motion! It really does feel as though I'm running, and quite possibly for my life!
