After taking numerious shots I decided on this shot because of the sharpness of the girl smiling. I wish she was alone in the cup. Here is an outake I decided not to use.

Good sense of motion here.
This brings a smile to my face with a true capture of life and it's fun moments.
Adding to my favorites and bumping to a 10.
Well done!
excellent photograph ... the girl's beautiful laughing face makes this really special . great sense of joy and happiness .. love the colours ... great movement .. =9
What can I say bit WOW! Great job at capturing the on egirl in sharp focus. She just stands out so nicely. And the other tea cups add great soft colors and cool patterns. And what a great expression on he rface. Bumping up to 8.
While the technical information I offered regarding motion panning is correct, I may have been previously wrong in reassessing one particular image which I described in the previous post as (disputed). I am giving that photo the benefit of doubt and going back to the previous score I gave a 10. Good luck
Hi
I received you email. I do not know if you will have a chance to see this note again.
I just need to know what was your panning direction when the shot wsa taken.

I spent about 10 minutes studying one particular photo that I gave a score of 10 along side with a second photo that received 10 too. The second photo is a typical motion panning shot; the camera is locked to a speeding traveling object that should look sharp depending on the ability of the photographer or the technique to hold the equipment steady relative to the moving object and to keep the intended object in one place in the view finder, and at the same time causing the background to appear blurred, and that means "motion blur like" background, were the direction of the blur lines are parallel to each other and go along with the directional movement of the camera(equipment).
Now, the blur in the first photo (disputed) which should have been a "motion blur like" due to the movement of the camera against a standstill background was anything but "motion blur like", and the background had all kinds of blur and directional movement because the back ground itself was a moving one and the subject was 100% net because it was 100% immobile.
I can't elaborate much more on this disputed shot, in fear I will have made it so clear which photo I am talking about. The thing is I wanted to know how the shot was taken while keeping the subject safe in the heart of all the background movement, AND I think I did.
