Hi Tim,

Good sense of movement in the image. It is a little tight in the frame for me and perhaps could do with a bit more PP work just to lift it a little.

A good result though especially to get it mid air.

Regards

Rob

Fantastic panning shot. Head sharp, blurred legs. Agree just a little tight, but that's minor. I love it!

Agree with the others that it is a little too tight in the frame, but otherwise a superb shot.

Well taken panned shot. I would give it more room all round but especially on the right so that it has somewhere to go. Nicely done.

As per my previously comment posted Tim, like to see a little less at the foot & more at the top of the image. In addition, as Rob and others has mentioned, just a bit tight in the frame overall.

Hi Tim
I agree what's be said about the cropping and being slightly tight, but it's still a fine image.

Lovely, Tim, full of movement and very well captured. I agree with the others regarding the cropping.

Cheers guys,

One of those snap moments where something runs past but its too close really, unforunatley the only crop is off the back of the image to suit A3 aspect ratio. I do like pan blur stuff when it works, must keep trying. :smile:

Also seems to be hit and miss on whether its too dark or not, all my screens at home display it about right, yet i've just sat down at work, and here it looks very dark..

Nice bit of movement captured Tim! I was trying for this yesterday with some Stags but there was a line of out of focus traffic in the background and I couldn't position myself to keep it out of frame :argue:

Yeah, works very fine for me Tim,
exact the right mixture of sharpness and blur.

very nice the pose and warm lighting really add to this

Sharp where it counts. Fine for web presentation, but far too tight for commercial reasons.

Well seen and taken.
