 Post:
Thank you Curtis for coming through during the surprisingly cold day. Sunday 75F, shoot day 39F.

Since this is "basic" editing the blur was done the old fashion way.

There is a Norman 400b Strobe to the left of the model.
I did a slow exposure and moved the zoom lenses during the time where the shutter was opened. The strobe fired and "froze" the foreground and everything in the background that is not hit by the light gets the motion blur.

Thank you for the comments and for the support from my Globetrotter team mates.

Nide picture. I would like to know how did ou get the zooming effect on the background while the foreground is sharp.

Nice effect. It might have been better if his foot was on the pedal. This way, the blur doesn't match his action (stopped).

I don't know about anyone else, but when I looked at this, it made me feel a little dizzy, but I still like it.

I want to say a Lenbabies shot but the tire and foreground are too in focus... Interesting shot. The blur conveys motion even though he's not moving... I like it.

Very unigue presentation - the motion blur in combination with subtle DOF changes compliment the sharper subject. The intensity of this image is very complimentary to the title and as a whole works well. A solid effort to demonstrate fitness.

I like the sense of motion conveyed in this. There's one tall greenish twiggy in the front that I would have moved since it's a bit distracting. I like how his read shirt pops against the other colors.
