 Taken on a clear day at the races, we were lucky enough to get right down to trackside and I had a slew of fantastic shots (no pun intended). I'm sure the "met challenge" score will be low, but I was out of town and this was my best shot of the week. Definitely not a bicycle.
In case you're wondering, the gaining horse here (#1) did give 110% and passed #7 in the final moments to win.

Does not seem to meet challenge of soft focus...the subject is sharp.

Not soft - shoehorned?

This has a nice sense of motion. The composition works well, too.

This is a good attempt at motion blur, but I do not really the soft focus of this photo, your subject is nice and sharp. Great shot for conveying the movement.
