Just another night in the big city...

Actually I had a taxi shot that was perhaps sharper and fitted the challenge perfectly and would probably do better than this, but in the end I think this is more fun! I hope the crop doesn't get criticised too much! I know there are a few saturation artefacts which I'd have got rid of if it weren't for basic editing, and the bike headlight would be better not going into the car, but you can't have everything!

Basic processing: adjustments in camera raw... crop, hue/saturation, denoise, sharpen. Added border.

I liked this a lot, and was dissappointed it didn't get as much appreciation as I felt it deserved. I loved the colors. An 8 from me!

Cool, I like how the biker is almost invisible - as it seems we always are when on the road...

The ghostly image of the bike clutters the image.

Not quite there yet.... in my opinion, a successful motion panning photo has at least SOME of the subject in clear focus, whilst the background shows the tell-tale streaks.
