Nice portrait. Could use more blur in the hair to really fit the challenge.

Lots of motion, but very little blur. I am also not fond of the blown highlights on her chin and neck.

Nice idea and overall composition. There is some slight motion blur would've liked to see more for this challenge.

Nicely lit and framed. The concept has been done once or twice before, though.

To get more sense of movement in the hair: use a slower exposure, and take the shot once your subject has stopped moving her head but while the hair is still moving. Slower exposure means you'll need to use a natural light source, though; flash will be too fast.

I definitely see motion here, but I'm not seeing the motion blur.

this looks like a freeze of motion to me not a blur

I would have gone higher on this image if there was a little less hair in her eyes. 8

I thought about trying this but it's really hard to get the face in focus, you almost got it!

A little more blur would be better
