I was originally going for the car going against the traffic light sign, but when I came to editing it I realised that it was also going against the direction of the leaning trees and the wall pattern!

Cleverly done. Turned what might have been an average photo into an excellent catch.

Excellent sense of motion and nice patterns all around. That vibrant red just pops.

Nice blur - great color. And I love the shadows against the vertical stripes on the wall in the background opposing with the horizontal stripes on the bottom half.

I enjoy the parallel rim blur patterns. all the elements compliment each other nicely. I like you choices so far.

Cool effect. Very apt title. I love the patterns in the wheels.

If the car was any other color but red this probably wouldn't have worked so well. The bright red blur makes the shot.

I know this is about messages but you know, I'm really fascinated by the ripply blur of the tires. That looks almost fractal like! How appropriate too, that the car is red. It's like a 3rd dimension symbol for speed. Very cool.

I like the lean of the trees.

Wow, love it so much. Love the unusual motion blur you've achieved and the added interest of the 'going against' stuff is awesome. Love it. Did I say that already?

Funny shot for sure! I noticed the sign on my own, but didn't notice the trees and wall pattern until you mentioned it. I really like the patterns that were created with the tire movement.

That is some nice, fast looking blur! -- effectively enhanced by the static rhythm of the vertical lines in the building, and the leaning trees and sign which seem to be indicating movement in the opposite direction.

Is this car taking the good news from Aix to Ghent or are you giving me a message about buzz and suburban tranquility in Sydney? No matter, the latter does very well...

Very well seen. The contrast of the colour against the bland background is very effective. Like the motion blur and I love the way the hub caps have come out in the editing. Excellent.
