Really liked the image and although the blur didn't hit me in the face, it was there nonetheless but obviously not in abundance and certainly not enough for the voters to appreciate as the killer score proved. Unfortunately, I was asked for a verification... I'm assuming because of the white background which I suspect had a cloning question. There was nothing cloned and the white background was due to a very bright sky over the lake. A little lightening and there it was. Anyway, I looked and looked for the original and wouldn't you believe I couldn't find it... so I have to take my lumps I guess. Pity too as I was in contention for the brown without question, go figure... ;0)

Thats ok man - get it out of your system. I have a couple of brown ribbon contenders up right now myself. Only one way to go now and that is way up baby - GO UNTOUCHABLES!!!
I like this capture. The colour is great...the composition excellent...the expression priceless...but for this challenge...not fitting. I am still going to give you a good score because I know that others probably aren't...but personally I feel it does need a stronger motion blur...6.
A strong and dynamic composition. Red and blue makes a bold statement against the white background. But the motion blur is at an absolute minimum and borderline non-existent.
Wonderful photo. Colours are nice too. The slide surely has potential for movement. Am leaving a comment but not voting on this one since movment is merely implied.
aside from the fact that there isn't any blur of any kind, i feel this picture suffers somewhat from the overpoweringly white background - i'm guessing you felt that the original background was too distracting, but this is too heavily applied a fix. 3.
