I am going to need your help before I start voting on these images. I was going to give everyone a 10 because of the injustice in the voting at this web site. I want you to tell me how I should vote on this one. Has there got to be movement in the image or just stop action? I did not enter because I could not come up with an image of movement without being inside or at night and that is not my style for I do not care for motion trails outside. Please help me out in making this decision and I would really like to hear from everybody even the people that like to deal out 1’s so liberal.

straight from the challenge ==>"This week, depict motion in your photograph."

it's up to you how you interprete it and how closely you hold people to that. that's what makes it fun. that's what makes it frustrating, too. :)

If the picture gives you an impression of motion, whether there is something moving, or something stopped in action, then to me it is a good 'motion' image. I hear you on the not being able to get many pictures taken though. Its either dark or I'm at work these days...

The challenge says to depict motion in the photograph. You vote on whatever that means to you.

I'd say that both motion and stop motion could count, but it's your own preference that is important.

Just go with how you feel.

Bob -- I recommend an alternate form of protest as your votes will probably be purged by the vote-scanning algorithm. I'm not sure (check with admins) because I myself don't know the criteria, but it looks for "suspicious" voting patterns. I just try t vote honestly and liberally -- I think my average vote (given) has been consistently above 6.

Ok I'll start back voting-- the first image to vote on the pages where moving that simple enough--then the second image to vote on was a landscape of an ocean in which I guess the tide and waves move. I guess if you wanted to through everything in, you could say the earth spins and rotates, so I guess there is movement in everything. I am tired of trying to detemine if an image meets the challenge. I just want to vote on how well an image is.

Sounds reasonable, why not just vote that way?

Sounds like a plan :)

A shot i would have liked to execute would have been two hands drumming on a bongo or something similar... nice movement in the hands.. just didn't have the time for it though.

Sounds like an interesting shot... Are you thinking of shooting it anyway?

Not trying to sound like a wise guy but you can only provide a hint of motion in a still picture. If the picture evokes "motion" it fits the criteria.
