A groundhog on Parliament Hill that was rather worried that I was chasing it (which I was). A lot of work done on this image, and I'll probably get a whole bunch of DNMCs anyway: Hue and Saturation (made the grass greener), long and tedious work with Smart Sharpen (to remove motion blur), a bit of levels adjustment on the greens, then some Reduce Noise, and resize but no crop.

Great sense of motion - you can see this guy running.

Great shot - I'm marking this as a favorite - I need to know if this is real or not. (It looks it!) Well done.

Nice motion blur. Has green in it, but it doesn't say green to me.

Run for your life... :) If groundhog (I think that's what it is) would be clearer, this could be a lot better picture :)

Just to blurry...

Even though groundhogs are evil garden wreckers, I like your photo. I love his spikey hair and the catch of motion. Good composition too.
