I rigidly established the arrow in front of my camera so the arrow and camera would move as one (maybe explain later). Then I (laterally) swept the camera from right to left and snapped the shutter while doing so (hoping to convey that the arrow was 'in flight').
Post processing: I performed a slight canvas rotation and recropped the image. Applied light sharpening and level adjustments. I then converted to Duotone and added border.

What great "texture" to that background - nice mix of tones in it too.
Arrow is sharp and well positioned - but feels a little wonky. Doesn't detract for me though.
Sharp as it can be. Very good expression of movement and speed but I cant figure out if you have done it just by using large apperture or if somekind of movement is included.
Nice effect here, with the blurred background and completely sharp arrow. I'll guess at how you made it: Slow shutter speed, and moving a picture behind the arrow. However you did it, I like it.
It's sharp and the blurred background implies motion, but the foreground still fails to keep my attention. The concept is there, but the fact that it's simply an arrowhead tip doesn't really keep me interested.
this is great... did you actually catch the arrow flying through the air? if so.... WOW! I really like this, nice choice in black and white... great depth of field. Good luck!
Amazing panning! (I think) I like the way you choose a "boring" angle/composition, which works extremely well with the determination of the arrow/archer. No screwing around making parabolas. He aims straight for the target! I love it!
