edit: I guess I should be flattered some people thought this was done pp? I remind folks that all you see is one of lots of shots taken. This one was the best clarity-wise of many, many shots
Go figure, one frikkin week too early!

Nice, good practice for upcoming motion panning, I shot some pics of my kid sledding the past two weekends but don't think I have anything close to your great subject clarity.
Great capture. Nice sharp focus on the subject and great smooth motion panning. One week early for the next challenge, eh? This would have been a 10 had it been landscape format (to add to the feeling of horizontal motion) and the edges of the sled hadn't been chopped off.
I like your image alot - good motion, crisp, sharp subject. For me, if the image had been landscape instead of portrait, I think it would have been even better. He looks kind of "cramped" in the vertical format.
This would have been a great shot had I believed the background blur was a result of a good photographer using the panning technique, however I think this Is the result of a blur effect in an editing piece of software, never the less, a good shot with some interesting effects applied - 6.
