 football shot in air while several folks playing catch in a gym.

70mm with 2x converter, panning ball. It was easy to get ball in frame, but tough getting it in decent focus.

wow...underrated, to say the least. not 'way' underrated, but, all the same, underrated. i know exactly what you feel--don't you wish everyone who scored you below a 5 would go out and try to nail this shot, just so they could appreciate it? oh well.

I knew it wouldn't get above a 4, but I accomplished what I wanted with the shot. Try shooting a football, getting it in the frame, in a gym, at 30ft using a 300mm with 2x converter and get something with it. That's what this shot shows, high motion blur and speed stopping most of the strings. Thanks for the comments. Van

Good try. I would like to see this against a blue sky and green playing field. Can't see much detail in the background.

OK but could've been a lot nicer with a more interesting background with some color, a blue sky for example.

Nice idea and pretty good execution. Too bad the rotation costs sharpness.

Sorry, but everything is blurry. Part of the challenge description says:
"bring out foreground from background"
You did not do that.

because the background is almost white the sense of speed is lost in the photo therefore there isn't a distinction between fore and background. The knot lines make photo more interesting though.

One of the most important parts of motion panning is to show movement of the subject against the background. With a perfectly solid / white background, we have no way of seeing that the camera is following the ball.

This shot is very difficult. Nevertheless, the subject is not sharp enough, IMHO.
