The setup was not very difficult. Camera on tripod, one lamp on the top left side and dark blue background. I used a dark twine to move the shuttlecock up and down...

Thanks a lot for your comments and for giving me a higher score, than this shot deserves. I like the motion blur of the birdie myself. It took about 20-30 shots, to get this IMHO satisfying result. But you are absolutely right with your criticism on the wrinkles in the background. I didn't realise this mistake while shooting. But unfortunately I didn't had the time to make it better with a new shot...
Dang, I never would have thought of a tennis/badminton racket for my source of squares. Cute motion blur. The background looks a bit messy because of the wrinkles. Lovely bright colours. Good luck. Jacko.
Composition: Great
Technical: Excellent colour, focus, border and lighting.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Technically spot on for me, and aesthetically good too! 9
I really like this photo! It is very creative. How did you get to take such a clear photo in motion that way?? Very good concept of portraying squares!
What a great shot. On my first run though voting I gave it a 7. On a more detailed review, I like it even more. This looks like a difficult shot to capture, and you did so very well. You meet the theme very well with the racquest strings. I love how the raquest is sharp, but you've got the blurred motion of the birdie. The neon yellow really grabs attention, too. I like the fact that your background has some blue in it instead of an all black background. The only thing I can comment on to improve is your background. I find the wrinkles in the fabric to be alittle distracting, but it's a minor detail. Good job and good luck in the challenge.
I really enojoy this picture because of the action shot that was taking place. I like how the light is used in this picture. I dont think that the way this picture was shot could be done much better. Nice Job
I like the movement and the vibrant color of what I assume is a shuttlecock. The lighting is good, and the crop shows enough of the racket to visualise the concept without distracting too much from the (square) strings.
HEY, you threw the shuttlecock didn't you? lol. That's ok, still a wonderful image, although I don't know why people would be playing badminton at night!
