I much prefer when there is at least SOME part of the photo in sharp focus. This way, all I'm seeing is accidental camera movement.

Sorry, but this just looks like a bad snapshot. To be effective, this sort of shot needs to have something in focus. The red hat guy's face would be a good focus point.

Definite motion blur there.

I've given the same basic comment on quite a few shots -- my preference (as I discovered while looking at a number of these blur shots) is for a sharp subject. When there is no sharp subject, my eye wanders around trying to find something to focus on. That really happens on this shot. Perhaps just a difference in artistic preference.

It is good, but it might be better if there was a focal point to the picture.

I wish there was an infocus subject to draw my eye too.

I don't think the motion does anything for this shot. Too much of the detail is lost in the blur.

Great idea. I think the exposure is a bit too long. But the effect is interesting and happy.

IMO the Motion Blur should be seperated from something that is not moving. i.e. the background.
