I expect this picture makes use of shallow DOF and a high shutter speed. For motion panning the shutter speed needs to be lower so the background blurs.
Nice bald eagle shot. However background blur seems to be more from DOF than from motion panning. A slower shutter speed and clearer demonstration of motion panning effect would fit the challenge better.
A good looking shot - reasonably sharp on the eagle. Would have been better closer in and unfortunately the colourful items on the cliff underneath the bird take the attention away slightly
