Yep, the white shirts looked almost blown and were really distracting. Haven't read other comments, but what if you put a green layer over the whole and blended it in? Or crop just below the shirts? Or both? |

| This is a shot that rewards slow inspection. I love the little holes of focus and the oblongs of blur. I agree with skewsme about the top distracting from the action even it if provides much needed green for the challenge, it steals power. If you view a shot for 3 seconds in scoring, this level of complexity is tough to enjoy, and on that level it is a "meh" shot, not super green, not at all simple. The correlation between a great photograph and great entry in a challenge is not robust. |

| I suppose I'm not a huge fan of motion blur since my brain really likes order, and I struggled with the mix of heavy versus light lines and the opposition of blurred and nearly in focus.

I am a big fan of this type photography. Love the motion, color and emotion that is brought out by introducing a dimension of time.
However, I am bothered (distracted) by the two areas of desaturated color. They seem out of place and artificial, esp in contrast with the similar areas that were highly saturated and contrasty. Even so, I would have place you much higher. |

| I gave this an 8 so surprised to see it not finish higher but then again my entry did terrible in this challenge and I don't think it is awful |

| What a great photo, Deb! I would say that it should have scored much higher, but have learned that blur photos are under appreciated here. |

| Clever idea. Just a bit too busy and not quite green enough for my tastes. |
