| Amazing image Robert. Had I taken the shot though, I would have used a duck! ;-) |

| The aspect I love most about what you've done here, is that the birds have become a part of the scene. They're not just flying across the sky and water, but they are the sky and water. |

if its an consolation i fit the challenge by actually creating an illusion of speed. in other words simulated motion panning. mine also got clobbered, but i sort of figured it would.
outside of the border - i like this image quite a bit. |

| As a child I used to occasionally have dreams that I was really flying. The wind would just swoop me up, and off I would go with my arms outstretched, soaring along the air currents. It was the most thrilling feeling. For me, this image captures something of that sense, and I'd like to add it to my favorites so that I can look at it every so often and remember. |

| Absolutely beautiful! And of course, lost on the majority of this audience. I normally don't like frames but the thin white one is a nice touch here. Not overbearing. Everything in this presentation just works perfectly! |

Very cool abstract. This reminds me of a favorite photo of mine Impression: Flight. While not the same I felt both shots captured the "essense" of birds and flight. It's a shame this scored so low but obviously you must know it was destined for it.
We would all learn so much more if the priorities of the voters were reversed in that the whole of the image weighted first and then technical aspects and challenge relevancy second. To rate the technicals and challenge theme first to me robs you of "seeing" the photo and the photographer's intent.

Wow, I didn't see this image before (only had time to do a partial vote during the challenge). I love the dreamy quality to it. I can see where some might not get the "panning" because of the quality of the background. But still, this is a *very* nice image and probably would have scored much higher outside of the panning challenge.

| Great shot. I love it. This is what photography is about. Sadly so often we are too concerned with 'the science' and forget about 'the art'. Will make a wonderful large print. The calming blues and the freedom of flight keeps me staring at this image. Congratulations this is one of my favorites. |

Had no idea this was yours when I was voting, until I saw the title - it was like a bear_music Neon sign...
Haha
Quite a departure from your normal Robert - I like the effect and tone.

dreamy, like a fantasy. motion panning is there, tho not exactly obvious. you can see this if you pay attention that there is one bird which is the clearest/darkest, and also, the water patterns.
maybe you're right, maybe the voters wanted more illusion of speed, as mentioned in the descriptions. but i've always thought people dont read those anymore.
you got lucky with a shaky hand, havent you? ;p

| This is a really interesting image to look at, though I don't see the use of the motion panning technique in it (marked it down for that, sorry); I am very curious how it was done, and I like the constant shade of blue that runs throughout it. |

| There is something ethereal and lovely about this photo, though it looks almost more abstract than like panned motion. The gulls look like scarves blowing in the breeze. 7. |
