I think it's a great shot. wouldn't it be great if you had had time to think, paln, rehearse and make the shot perfect by adding movement (slower shutter). But it's a miracle you got it at all. Well done.

As a Harley rider I don't recall Rolling thunder...in August?? However....as a Harley rider I guss you could call anytime 'rolling thunder'. The shot is nice no matter when it was taken. Score 7 Justine

Love the photo, but Rolling Thunder is on Memorial Day. I am assuming your title is simply descriptive, not actual. lhall

Great shot... too bad its blurred by camera motion. More daylight and a faster shutter speed would would solve this... although, sometimes the best shots don't come to us at optimal times ;) -7

Because I hate to see low scores on my photos without knowing WHY they voted that way, I offer these comments to explain why I scored this photo low.

I see what you were going for here, and the blur was therefore necessary, but personally for me, this photo would have had to be dynamite in order for the blur to be overloookable as a photographic tool. This was a risky photo to enter, as you might be aware, and I like that people are willing to take risks. But the riskiness alone is not what is of value to me, and so I can't give a better score just for that. It is original, I'll give you that.

The challenge is over, but I had this idea for an adjustment, inspired by thinking about your photo. Perhaps it is worth something if you still want to explore the possibilities of this photo. There's a photo in this challenge that is of a slide, with the shape of an eye surrounding the slide. It made me think that children with new glasses often see the frames of their glasses until they adjust to the new frames/prescription (or at least I did). Perhaps if you had the frames of the glasses just visible slightly (as though we're looking through them) and the portion within the frames in focus and that above, below, and to the sides, fuzzy. That might still relay your meaning without an overly blurry photo. 2, just-married

Given this is a door to an opthalmologist's office I have to wonder if the camera shake was intentional. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this. Good kids'eye view.
