I would say that a little more background blur would help in this image but she was probably going as fast as she could already.

She looks terrified!! Great photo, the sign even looks like it might say "speed".

This shot is hillarious and very well done. The colors are eye-catching and all the lines in the photo, (especially the two that make an arrow) create more of an illusion of speed. Good job!

LOL one of my favourites in this challenge..... the blur makes it look like she's doing 50 mph on that thing! Nicely done.

I like this photograph, the background is blurred and the lady in the weel chair isn't all that blury

because of panning, it looks like she is going at 70mph. all that scooter needs is a nice paint job with flames :) 8

Ha ha! I can see the wheels are level, but the horizontal gate lines are so strong with their slight right tilt that it gives me an off balance feeling. This shot is just ripe for creative captions. You could do a creative captions thread with it after the voting. :P

This is just awesome to me! I think you did a good job on the technicals of the challenge, and the speeding granny just cracks me up!

looks like she is going pretty fast, lol.

this cracked me up. Here I was making comments that there was no evidence of speed, and here she is, speeding along! would've been perfect had we been able to read the sign, and it read "No speeding". nice job capturing her in nice sharpness, too

Great photo, really conveys speed. I like that her face is sharp, that she has room to move into the photograph and the yellow sign adds a nice splash of color. Well done.
