At first I thought you must have been shooting out the back window while driving faster than the others on the road. Ooops, as my provincial perspective shows itself in my assumptions about which way traffic "should" flow. Fun blur. Hard to tell how much of that truck is original and how much is stretched out by the camera.

I've seen that look, with teeth barely showing, usually just before the goat tugs on my shirt with intent to chew. Hope your camera escaped without being nibbled.

Baseball Bleacher Blur

This reminds me of the ever changig patterns of a kaliedascope. Meets criteria for fill the frame, but I see a lot of threads saying that blur entries don't do so well in challenges. Too bad, particualrly since this has such a fun collection of bright colors.

The leg positions enhance the senseo of motion from the blur. Nice that you had one in some sunshine to help with the exposure. Our deer like to come out late evening or in night.

day 24: Brightly Wound

Comment:
What a difference the conversion to black and white makes. Suddenly the warmth is gone from your cheeks, and the subtle shades of expression become more stark. Thoughtful and maybe a little tense turns to a bleaker emotion. The additional softness of blur seems to seed some doubt that we'll ever be certain. Ambiguity goes well with art.

Waddy and Germaine, you are both right that a composition with a subject at the focal point of the lines would be stronger. Since this actually was a zoom-during-exposure of an apple tree, it would have been pretty difficult to place something up there. With no object to focus on, I get the feeling of flying over the greenery. Maybe I can use it as a background for a portrait in the future. Meanwhile, we'll just have to pretend that the desired subject at the convergence of the vanishing point lines ... um ... vanished.

Thanks both of you. Yes, it is great to (still) be a DPC member.

It counts for a blur and counts even more for the excitement and the years of love and support. Look at him go!

In people, breast cancer is so often treatable that the condition is becomming thought of as a chronic disease, especially when detected early before spread. Don't know about the progress for dogs. My heart goes out to you. Print your images for safekeeping, and also be sure to have secure back-ups of the electronic files. You will treasure these visual reminders for a long time.

My favorite of the series. The wider crop imparts a luxurious comfort to the old leather sofa and shows off interesting details of her surroundings as well. The reading material makes her face illumination look completely natural (it probably is, but if you hid a small flash in there, you adjusted it to perfection). This would be a fine portrait to frame and display.
