Nice photo. Good use of colour. I'm not sure that the position of the lower-right mouse is really consistent with the sense of motion that you're trying to create with the spring, though.

Through diaphanous wing

Well captured. And great colours.

But the wings seem more like they're just out of focus, rather than blurred.

Beatiful!

A crisply focused subject with bright primary colours against a speed-blurred and more subdued background - nice. The speed blurring of the wake works particularly well.

I can't make up my mind whether the stuff happening at the top of the photo adds or detracts, though...

Downhill is the BEST!!!

Nice use of directional blur in the background, and just a smidgeon of rotational blur in the spokes. Plenty of space to the right for the rider to "ride into" as well, creating a sense of forward direction.

I'd have been inclined to clone out some of the stuff happening with the sky (if that's within the rules, I haven't checked).

I think the title definitely makes you look at this shot in a different way, which is great - helps us to see what the photographer saw.

It's a shame the ball is out of shot.

Nicely executed, but I'm afraid I just don't "get it". A spinning tree? "The trees of the dead"?

LOOKS LIKE AN EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT

This is a lovely shot. The sense of the face-down cards being dealt across the table is very strong. Just the right amount of blur.

But the first thought that sprang to my mind was "why would cards be getting dealt out when someone is already showing a full-house?"

The blur of the background and the legs works well to convey the movement of the animal. but there's too much of this photo with nothing much going on. Maybe it needs to be cropped more tightly.

Too many challenges, very little time ..

A great idea, and a "so close, but not quite" execution.

Blurred hands and fingers, conveying a sense of rapid movement across the keyboard, would've been good. Adding one key being blurred by being depressed as the shutter was released, would have made it perfect. But these hands are not blurred so much as they're only half there.

A lovely shot. But the blur doesn't evoke a sense of motion so much as of mistiness.
