 So, here it is. The motion blur contest. I was hoping to be multi-dimensional here. Using both tail lights and a river flowing in very fast rapids that are blurred due to shutter speed. Hopefully my duel attack is in order.

The colors are absolutely wonderful, the blues, reds, and the green. The scene is a little busy, a little too much to look at, the group of flowers in the foreground draws my eye, the lines of the road and the river turning together is cool. Great shot overall, pleasing, took alot of effort and time, keep it up, love your work

I like the strong colours and the unusual 'selective', selective desat

I like that it's a two for one sort of shot, but the colors look too saturated for me. The creek looks like someone dumped a bunch of toilet cleaner in it.

Very attractive and conveys the scene well.

I think there's a great idea lurking here, and you very nearly carried it off.

Both tail-light trails and running water have been done to death, of course; but bringing them together like this has a lot of promise. If we had seen the full sweep of the tail-light trail, all the way from from bottom-left, this shot would have been right up there. Particularly given the very competent "fast water, slow exposure" treatment in the upper-right two-thirds of the shot.

Great idea - very close.

Great mood here. Gotta love those saturated blues and greens. You got the water blur down nicely and the colorful car trails add to the shot. My favorite landscape shot which offers something more than just a long water exposure :)

Very nice. You have captured both the car lights and the water. The area of green really makes this one stand out.

Back to bump. The colors and composition of this shot are striking to me. Nice orange, blues, and greens against the gray. A beautiful spot that someone just zoomed by and missed.

what wonderful colors, and excellent textures.

Not bad, although I think you overdid it with the selective saturation.

has the over worked pro-feel of studio photographers but it's still interesting for colors and being daylight

Okay, this image is just good. I like the motion blurr in the road, in the waves. The placement of everything in the image, it's all good, I love it

I really enjoy the selective color and saturation here. looks like you did some great dodging and burning as well. very surreal look and feel. 10!

Some serious RGB saturation in this one. Strong compositon and a very dynamic photo. Very nice!

Good idea and well planned. I imagine it must have been difficult to set up for the correct exposure. 8.
