My last two entries featured my daughter. This one does too but hopefully she is not recognisable! Had lots of ideas for this challenge but this is the only one that worked out in the short time I had available. Wanted a longer exposure with her running down the track but I don't yet have any neutral density filters that would have allowed me a longer exposure.

Excellent job. Great choice on the pink clothing too. It really makes the shot.

Very freaky. She looks like a ghost or a forest sprite. I like this image very much, but there's something about the crop that bothers me, although I can't seem to figure out how to improve it. Good work.

Interesting. With that background, makes it look like some medieval fairae tale wood nymph or something. Very "mystical". While I don't like most of the shots where the blur makes the subject unidentifiable, in this case it works for me.

Quite nice! I like the contrast of the blurred child in pink against the well focused and muted colors of the forest...well done.

I love the colors the, forest is perfect,would have loved the overall shot if the person was just a bit more clear.

A little too much blur for me. I would have liked to see more of the person.

Movement is good, but maybe a 45 shutter so you can see movement, but still make out the person's face.

Interesting blur... it looks like a ghost of sorts :) Less blur would work well here also... = 6

Very effective indeed, just the right amount of blur so you see what it is but no detail, and a perfectly crisp background.

Wonderfully surreal. The colurs are perfect and the blur is enough to make the shape distinguishable but only just. great work.

It's clear you used a tripod, as there is a very impressive sharpness in this shot. However, the composition of these woods seems a bit uninspired, as if the camera was placed at the first opportunity. The pink of your subject is effective, but the shot doesn't really say much to me. Maybe if more had been made with the possible atmosphere that a wood can contain, but here it all seems very ordinary.
