I actually love on how you take this photo, because I've been doing this college assignment-- on Movement photography, and I only took "car" as my main object on the street, and using slower shutterspead. But you know, your idea is great. Using people on the sky when they ride those (I don't know baloons? or something? at Disneyland?) as your main objects are the best that you could possibly do to make this work even better. You've captured the movement so well, and even the angle. I love how you took it from the right, the contrasts are also incridible Very well done on this one dude, good job ^_^

I think the best thing i can say about this photo is that i cant really think of any suggestions of how it could be improved. I'd probably up the contrast a bit to make the colours a teeny bit more vibrant, but then i personally always tend to favour high-contrast images. It's a really very good pic, i'll be giving it a fav!

I saw this in the thumbshare forum and i was like "omg.. thats so wicked!"

I'm totally crap at giving useful critique, so all I can say about this one is that its stunning and eye catching.

I dunno why this hasnt been put forward for a daily deviation yet.

my cousin who has hated everything on this site he's seen so far says this is actually really good.

likes-the colors !
i like that the figures are all blurred. a lot of people will be able to relate to the blurry state.

dislikes- the border. i think it should be all black and a little thinner, to create a base for the image.

i also think this is one of the better images ive seen

That is an excellent motion shot. I really like this. Because even though the center of the ride is so bright, it is still the people that my eye is drawn to. Nice job.

The swings remind me of md black crows or some other flying bird creatures. Maybe im strrange. It's good how the middle bit seems stationary while everything else is whirling around.

Love the composition of this! The exposure, color, and saturation are dead-on! I love your choice of shutter speed too...honestly, I have nothing to offer as improvement Except maybe to clone out or change the color of the pink clouds in the bottom. It pulls my eye from the focal point a bit. Really GREAT shot, though!!

Oh man, this is amazing. There not really much I can say about this, it is done perfectly. Motion blur so often leads to immature, ammateur looking photos, but here it looks crisp and well thought out still. I love the look of the people blurring past, and the awesome look of the ride too. Great job all the way around. Not to mention, composition and framing are top notch too.
