Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a very colorful and dynamic photo. The motion blur in the background, caused by panning, is conventional and conveys a sense of motion. It is nice that the bright lines stop short of the boy's face. The motion blur on the vehicle appears to be caused largely by the perspective change as it moves closer to the camera, and is certainly not typical of panned photos. The overall shape is still apparent yet the blur gives a nice abstract feeling; I think it is effective. The boy's face is surprisingly clear compared to the rest of the picture, but is still blurry. Too clear to make the entire image an abstract, but too blurred (and too close to the edge) to be the center of attention, it keeps the photo from coming together and expressing an interesting message.

the panning effect went too far in this case

the boy doesn't realize the car is taking him to tie-dye land... there is no escaping tie-dye land... and his white shirt will most definitely be ruined..

Very interesting. Love the play on color and movement.

I like the motion involved, however I would also love the boy (and perhaps the kiddie car) to be sharper. Yup I knoe its easier said then done too! but thats jus my humble opinion. =)

Almost perfect. You try to do a panning? Yeah, this technique is very hard, but produces beautiful shots. Try to use more shutter speed at next time and follow your subject with one eye on it other in the viewfinder.

Nice colors, composition and the perspective of motion. It's out of focus though.
