    All three! Just terrific stuff as usual.
    I think they're all beautifully composed. I love the how you pushed the subjects to the extreme edge of the frame.

    Love number 3 in particular. Shows how for artistic purposes you can go so slow as to go past any requirement to have any part at all be clear. I can see from the lines on the left that you followed her vertical movement as well. Bravo!

    All 3 are superb. I love the circular movement in #3. Well done!

    Thanks for the comments. I'm still scratching my head between numbers 2 & 3. I love B&W in general, but I think #1 looses some emotion in trade for clarity.

    I don't know why. But while a very kind comment, I think this is hilarious. No one's ever accused me of being so slow that nothing's clear. :Drolleyes1.gif

    I like both a lot. Color better than b&w on the first.

    Between the two, I think #3 would be the stronger entry due to the creativeness of the circular motion.

    Good luck!

    My idea of panning should have the subject in focus, but I sure like #1....

    I'm a fan of #1 as well. I like the b&w and the extreme motion blur. Like AaronNelson I also want sharper bicyclists, but I've tried panning bikes before and went for lightpainting - bikes are hard!

    oh, dont get me wrong... by what michswiss has done has made it very artsy imo... so I overlook my idea that subjects must be in focus because I like artsy more than rules....:D

    That statement just captured my feelings (on this and many other pictures) rather well, and I thought it deserved to be singled out a bit... thumb.gif

    There are rules? rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for all the additional feedback folks. Now I guess I just need to figure out which one I like. headscratch.gif
