Still love this. You might enjoy this gentleman's work. His use and style of blur reminds me of your own.

I gave two tens in this challenge.

This was one of them.

(interestingly, the only other one was JJ's shot in 36th place).

Stunning image.

I like the use of motion blur here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is impressive! Two forms of contrast, too - the white gull against the darker background, and the contrasting diagonal lines. The tilted composition adds a strong sense of dynamism.

I like this, makes you feel the bird is really stuggling to get up quickly, well done

Since he's left, it can't be xion, but it does remind me of him. An incredible sense of freedom and light.

remarkable capture, perfectly executed. The only downside is that the close-up nature of the shot keeps the composition from adding anything.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/03/2008 04:00:19 PM
That's beautiful. I wish there was more negative space, but I love it just as it is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow, spectacularly well done.

Blur can be effective to convey movement but this may be a bit much.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/01/2008 08:30:39 PM
Great job on the shot and I love the angle.
