| The fact that nothing is in focus gives me the impression that the picture is just, well, out-of-focus. |

| It took me a minute to get the title - instinct made me look for a bobby somewhere in the shot. Having the car blurred is fine, but it would have been nice if the buildings were sharp. Try a tripod, or at least sit the camera on or against something solid to help you out maybe. |

| Interesting photo, the clock tower seems to glow with its own light. A bit too unfocused for my taste though. |

| A bit too soft for my tastes. Maybe less highway and closer on the subect would make this more powerful. |

| Good, but a bit too much camera shake. |

| as a suggestion, you should try with a tripod and it would improve the sharpness of your pictures |

| Looks like you tried this handheld. If you were trying to express motion, I don't think it works too well in this picture (IMO). |

| This might have been an excellent photo using a tripod and a faster shutter speed. |

| Nice try at nightscape. For the lighting you were dealing with it, I'd say a very good attempt! In night shots, a tripod is absolutly necasary!!! if nothing else, bring your tripod, and forget your camera at home, lol. |

| Best to use a tripod with this type of shot, I can't find a point of focus |

| I like your attemt with the policecar but the buildings in the bacground are not infocus making the image too blurry.. |

| Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is very poor. Could have been a little more creative. - 3 |

| Motion blur can be very effective, but the idea is to have at least SOME of the photo in focus, and the object/creature that is moving is blurred. Try with a tripod next time, and use either a timer or a remote release. |

| This might work better if the tower was in focus. |

| This looks like the victim of horrible camera shake on the tripod. 1 |

| I find a higher aperture value and sometimes a filter help to decrease blow-out & blur in night shots. I always use a tripod or set my camera down on something & use a timer to shoot. |
