Despite the blown out sky/sea in the background, this image has a quality that is very appealing. It reminds me of a Cartier-Bresson photo. Many people may say that the figure should be positioned facing inwards so that there is more space between him and the frame, but I like his positioning as he is seperated from the black object in the background. Good job on the blur as well. High score.
I like it - enough mystery to make it interesting - what's he pulling, where is he going, and so on. The blocked up composition against the side/ exiting the frame furthers that feel. Good entry (9)
The motion blur in this photo is nice. Compositionally, I would prefer some open space on the right side of the frame rather than the left. It would give the subject room to 'move' within the frame... = 7
Nice composition and there is something intriguing about the content. But it doesn't quite seem to be focused in those areas that aren't in motion - did you use a tripod?
The background could be sharper, looks like its a bit moved as well. A tripod could have done the trick if it was not used. Good crop, I also like the head on the "overexposed" sky/sea.
Fantastic composition... I don't know if it was intentional, but I like the burnt out highlights which contrast nicely with the subject's face. I'd have liked the background much more sharp though. This is just blurry enough to look unintentional. I like the fact that the subject is almost out of the frame. The sloping horizon works well.
