Movement Challenge 'Rejects'

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Well I finally have decided which shot I'd enter into the Part 2 of the challenge so here are some of the others I had considered as entries.. I made sure they aren't similar to my entry but I wouldn't mind some feedback on them...

I would be looking to get a little closer in the last two but i like the first one A7. That reminds me i need to enter that challenge. Im still struggling to get something im happy with. Plenty of ideas but none executed well unfortunately.

#2 would be my pick outta the bunch, as that shot depicts movement the best.

WW : Your right number #2 and #3 could be better being closer, I was only shooting at 200mm not 300mm so I actually had more zoom, but the 70-300G is meant to be sharper at 200mm and I wasn't confident at my tracking abilities zoomed in more...

ozczecho: Thanks, for a while it was top of my list, but then my wife had me going for #1 for a while as the kid's running but the water is moving too.... I though the more astute pixel peepers would notice the "patterned fountain" and connect the shot back to me too, so that was a consideration..

...the pixel police would have had to be on their game to spot that one....I suspect those pavers are found in other public places :D :D

Shame about the bins in the first shot A7.

Yeah, I got a few shots from the other direction where the framing and background where a little better, but the timing and focus weren't as nice...

No 2 for me - makes you feel like she is moving, as others said, maybe a closer crop for me??
