Very fine original motion blur.

This is quite cool, the way the cyclist starts to morph into the blurred surroundings. Nice use of color to make the subject stand out, too.

I like this. Its a cliche shot but with a twist, one that works very well. I like the touches of red - they really force the focus of the viewer in a monochromatic world, which gives the image a little more depth. Fits the challenge. good capture. 7 bump to 9

Great panning shot...I suppose in some communities people might think this is a missed focus, but I have a feeling here people are voteing down because for this type of shot it is very nicely sharp. Good shot regardless.

I like the simplicity of composition and minimal detail which work well with the appropriately oof subject.

I really like this shot, but it appears to be only motion blur. A quick looks shows me sharp detail on the cyclists arm and the brake lever. This is in focus. I hate to have to give this one a low vote, but I cannot in good faith give it the high vote that I would if the topic included motion blur. A rare combination of a low vote and a fave.

Nice way to use the out of focus elements to capture motion. Well done.

This works for me. I really like the crispness of it - clean, sharp color. I suppose one could argue this misses the point of the challenge since you did manage to get focus on the cyclist pretty nicely, but like I said, it works for me.

Him wearing a red shirt with a red bike, really works well together. I might've brightened up the white background a smidge for better contrast. 7

I like this shot, great blur and movement! But the image is in focus.
