love the contrast of the "motion" of the water against the stationary rock, ice and snow. The water really feels liquid, esp. right before it goes over the falls. I also like that you are on the same level as the lake surface. Only thing that I personally find a wee bit distracting is the water dead center at the bottom, it seems to start from nowhere and my eyes keep returning to it to find the source. I love waterfall pics and this on is nicely done. Good Luck

Well, hard to answer that, the more we worked with this, the stronger that discoloration/mud/dirt/line down the middle of his head became. To the point it looked like a stripe, so guess you could say it is soft on purpose, but not our choice, or at least did not feel like it was.

Just in case someone wants to know, that is a section from a Cambridge glass punchbowl.

Flight of the Pelican

Beautiful stop action on the pelican with a nice focus, however IMO the challenge to this challenge was to obtain a good background blur due to the action of following the subject with the camera, the background blur here seems to relate more to DOF issues then to motion panning

Nice stop action to the plane, however I am not really seeing or feeling the "panning" which suggests speed, seems more like a DOF blur to the background then motion blur, still a nice photo but IMO does not rate as high in this challenge as it would in a different challenge

The front of the train appears to be in sharp focus, however I do not really see a blur to the background, or maybe it is a very slight bit of blur, but with the picture being so dark, I am having a tough time seeing enough detail to really judge the blur of the background which is what determines if panning has been used well

Motion panning is suposed to be used to show the motion of the subject, with a sharp focus on the subject and a blur to the background caused by moving the camera, I just do not see that here

Nice focus on a colorful subject, however I do not see the motion blur to the background that motion panning requires

Nicely done, clear focus on the subject with the background blurred by the motion of panning the camera, just as requested by the challenge-Good luck
