Spent the afternoon practicing panning shots of flying birds. I finally managed to get a okay shot when this Egyptian Goose came flying past on the other side of the lake.

While this was an advanced editing challenge, the only editing I did besides cropping and brightness/contrast, was sharpening (since the duck is a little fuzzy).
So yes the panning blur is real and not PS work. :)
Sadly the busy background hasn't helped this action shot. There is also an element front right which is distracting my eye. Advanced editing would have allowed you to improve this.
