CRITIQUE CLUB!

It's late, I know, I'm sorry, I suck.

Well, this was a very interesting attempt for the motion challenge. However, because it is sooo blurry, there's nothing to focus on, and nothing to give the viewer a frame of reference. For example, if this had been taken on a playground merry-go-round, it could have been shot so that the merry-go-round looks stationary (thereby giving a focal point), while the background was blurred out, to give the illusion of motion.

Another option would be to speed up your shutter speed (not sure if this is an option on your camera or not) so that even though things are blurry, they are still discernable. There's just too much being taken in in this picture and it's ended up a pretty difficult scene to take in.

Need something to provide focus.

Definite movement but no focal point of point of interest. Nothing to keep me looking or coming back. Nothing to allow me to interpret what I am seeing.
That may be the intention, of course. Personally it doesn't appeal to me.

Gawd it's terrible.

Little bit on the blurry side. Try selecting a slower shutter speed (around 1 sec), also a bit of colour always looks best with these types of shots.
