Interesting, nice use of colors, but does not do much for me beyond that, and I'm not seeing a connection to the challenge.

it's an overdone photo... but it's well done here!

nice shot, but 1) there's nothing in focus, and 2) i don't think you understood the technique.

On a scale of 0-2 in five different categories: Image quality - .5. Composition - .5. Lighting - 1.5. Post Processing - 1. Choice of Subject - 0. TOTAL SCORE - 4

This shot is missing a moving subject. What are you panning on? It does show motion, though.

great photo... it just doesn't meet the challenge requirements.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/17/2007 06:17:14 PM
I can't tell what the subject is nor what is getting the motion effect. Try again.

Interesting picture. But I think for this challenge you should have at least something in focus as a refference point.

Isn't panning designed to show clearly some foreground interest? A conceptually different 5.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

doesn't convey motion panning to me - just movement.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this image quite a bit, but it isn't panning. There is no subject being panned against a background, here the subject is moving with everything else. Panning would be more like if you were to point the camera out the side window of your car, and you'd get a vehicle driving along at the same speed as yours, then you might get panning (sort of, actually it's not real panning). Real panning would be you standing by the side of the road and following a car driving by with the camera, moving the camera at the same speed (relative) as the car while holding down the shutter.

I dont see your main subject

Which is the foreground?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/17/2007 01:39:00 AM
in a motion panning, the subject should be sharp, shouldn't he?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting photo - but not motion panning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not really getting a feeling of panning in this shot. This just looks blurry to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not sure what this is, but it aint motion panning. Sorry.
