    It is difficult to comment on the entries this time because the judging / evaluation is so subjective but this challenge definitely gave us an impressive set of entries, making it very hard to select only 10!

    Congrats to michswiss for a wonderful entry! Congrats to the other 5 winners, too! Congrats to Sean for such a fun topic.

    Michswiss, can you tell us a bit about your process? It seems that the left has more horizontal motion and the right has vertical motion. Was that due to horiz movement of the camera while the subject(s) were walking away from you?
