Hi from the Critique Club...

Very colorful image here! I love the motion of the merry go round.

I would have liked it better if something was in focus, it looks like you tried it hand held. 4 seconds is a long time! The other thing is the light in the center is really bright and is a distraction. I don't know if there was another angle that would have minimized it, or if that's just the way it was. In any event, a large distracting element like that will get lower scores than one without.

I think it's quite artistic, even with all elements blurred and I rather like it. Now that the challenge is over, maybe you could try cloning the light out and see how you like it.

Motion blur shots tend to be risky entries unless the challenge has a blur theme. I thought this one deserved a better placement. I liked it one and gave it a 7.
