Darn. I didn't vote on the challenge, but I really think you were robbed. This is a beautiful shot -- should have scored much higher.

I have a hard time believing this scored THAT bad. IN many ways, it's the frigid essence of ice-as-we-experience-it in our daily lives, and I gave you a 7 for this one. Just wanted you to know someone actually appreciated it :-)

Sorry, the out of focus just doesn't do it.

Even when showing motion some element sharp helps.

Interesting take on this one. I see you've gone for the mysterious "nothing is in focus" effect, I really get a sense for the chaos of an intense winter storm. I also really enjoy the "revenge of the motorist" motif you've applied here; by reducing the cyclist to lowly pedestrianism, you illustrate the superiority of the automobile. You know, the lack of detail and motion blurring gives this a very painting like quality that I find lacking in so many photographs today. A stroke of pure genius, 10.

Dizzying... a motion shot needs a fixed focal point, and there's nothing fixed about this pic.

Nothing is in focus at all. Motion blur would have been good if you had either the car or the biker in focus.

Makes me dizzy, would like something to focus on in the picture.

I suspect this is intentionally impressionistic, and it's cool. The blue car hurts, though. Just the cyclist would have ROCKED. 8

too blurry ... not sure if this is an intentional attempt at the brown or not ...
