Where's the motion?

Greetings from the Critique Club

This is a funny, cheeky shot, that I'm sure not everyone appreciated. What I do not understand though, is that while you chose a slightly controversial subject, but then only implement is half heartedly. Why not give us the full finger? I know I would respect you more for it :P
I like the lighting from the side, although I think it might have been better if you lighted 'the finger' only from the left, to give it more depth. It's a bit two dimensional now.
The slight twist in the center frame was a good idea. It unbalances the photo, holding the interest a bit longer.

In the end I think the image is just not 'wow' enough for the DPC voters to give it high marks. That and I'm sure that you offended a few of them as well.

i think the picture is great but the border is distracting. 7.

Comment by Jutilda:
This is lovely but I don't sense enough blur to really have much motion impact. It's simple and I like the composition.

Comment by olbol:
What can possibly classify it as motion? Blur of slopping water at the boulders? It's so timid that the first impression is actually one of stillness, not movement

Great picture, the more I look at it the more I see in it.

Comment by TheMegalomaniac:
Excellent - it is a little off because most of the blur is happening at the top when it should be moving slowly - you expect to see it at the bottom. 8
