I know the blur will probably not be liked, but this was taken while the wok was being shaken and I like the way the vegetables have such crazy motion blur.

Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality – high/ quite high Other suggestions – I'd preferred to see less ( no ) motion on left side to more clearly show motion on the right vs a bad focus or moving camera. 6 Jim msp

Autool When the whole picture is blurred I don't have anything to base the imposed movement on. Nothing to compare to so it loses its impact for me.
i like this shot, it is a refreshing change to the other photos and is also pretty good. I like the intentional blur because it adds movement and sound. (Okay I'm Bonkers, you dont have to tell me, but the blurryness adds life, and therefor I can hear it cooking.) -- Konador
Good color. A little faster on the shutter to cut the blurring a little, and a little less yellow in the WB would suit my PERSONAL taste a bit better, but I like the idea. High marks. - mjcecil
I get the effect you were going for, but IMO, it's over the top, too much motion. If you were being chef and photographer at the same time, get help. 7 Swash
I think I know what you were going for here. A slightly slower shutter speed might have given more of a "moving" effect. It would also have made it a bit brighter. 7
