Thanks everyone, for comments and votes on this one. I know it is really bad, but I only had a few minutes on a working day to get a shot, and this was the only one interesting to me. A reshoot would be with higher shutter speed for less blur.
This is tomatoes coming out of a "bin box" into the "dump tank" at a packing house. They dump a 2' deep X 4X4' box every 2 minutes into the water when it is running. They are sorted by computer with cameras by color, and for imperfections, then boxed into 25 lb shipping boxes. They were about $ 3.50 per 25 lb box for a long time early this season. They get a big mark-up on the way to the grocery store. The largest part of the mark up goes to middle men who broker sales and buying for chain stores. These are "Roma" variety tomatoes. |

| Initially looked at this as peas & carrots. Roma is the cheapest tomato at my store. I am impressed with the idea and the result fyi 7 |

| Good concept, but the focus needs to be much sharper. |

| I like this, the only slight changes I would make would be to straighten the horizontals (may just be a personal thing) and that there doesn't seem to be any one part of the picture clearly in focus. Nice motion blur though. |

| I love the idea. It would have been nice if the something in the shot was in focus. Like the veggies that haven't fallen in yet. Lighting seems good. |

| faster shutter speed may have helped you capture that 'stopped action' feel that I think you were going for ... |
