I think that because you knew how technically difficult this shot was that voters would take that into account - the pic unfortunately does not give us any clues to the difficulty (motion,ghosting,nighttime,etc)

The swing is not very sharp at all, and the cement floor appears too sharp. Overall not a very interesting subject of photo either. Better luck next time.

I think I understand what you were going for. I think the exposure was not long enough (not enough sense of motion) or perhaps if shot from a different angle.

I know you were trying to depict motion, but the impact was not really made in the image as it stands. Not sure what you could do to make the swing look like it was moving without appearing blurry.

I'd like to see the movement of the swing going back and forth and it might really have some punch.

Sorry, but even thought the ground is sharp, the blurriness of the swing does not help the picture. You did it through a long exposure, but it really does not help.

The image size is a little small for the challenge. I do like the silohouette looking crisp but the blurry swing takes away from the photo. It fits the challenge well but the photo itself does nothing for me. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
