Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hard to say much about this photo. It was an interesting submission for this challenge. The lighting is strange with the bright stripe behind you and there's a large shadow across your face. The long exposure made your face distort which is distracting. I think you probably could've achieved what you were looking for here with a shorter exposure which would have resulted in less 'deformation.' I think this didn't score well because nothing is jumping out of the picture. The idea behind motion panning is to blur the background to give a look of speed to the subject and bring the subject out of the shot. Here, you're blurred too (because it's hard to stay still in the frame) so it's basically just an interesting study in motion panning as opposed to a picture that makes people really interested in the subject. Very clever idea though and definitely very interesting.

Interesting idea. I've played with motion blur a lot and never thought to try that. Bummer you couldn't get your face sharper.

Very good idea. I can see why it was hard to hold the camera steady.

this illusion is interesting. I like it but I get the feeling the dpchallenge voters might be generally turned off by the odd illusion with the face and the almost-but not quite centered subject. 7 from me - nice idea.

Similar to a few others this does not appear to be a panning shot intended to capture an moving object relative to the camera.

You are not in focus, other then that it wouldnt be a bad shot.
