Speeding

Speeding by waynemethod.
I sit and watch,
The cars go by.
My life seems,
So motionless.
Standing still,
But moving so fast.
Faster than the speed of light,
Is the speed of life.

I think the blur goes too far. Hard to tell with no large size.

What nick said, and background too busy; would try cropping top and bottom gently, while trying to keep enough to maintain scale.

I like it, except every time I look at the riders, the overly bright colors in the upper left distract me.

Youd subjects are out of focus and your background is going to be too busy no matter how many blur filters you run on it.

nickehret  Pro User  says:

At the large size, I see that the blur did indeed go too far in my opinion. It makes it feels too busy. I would also have liked the scooters to be nearly blur free. Its a good scene if you get a chance to try again.

I like the busy blur because it makes the eye look to the riders for stillness. Unfortunately they are a bit blurry too.
Terrific attempt though.

I'd like something to be sharp against the blur of lights

there's something weird happening to the man's head in the large size

Ideally, the riders would be in perfect focus and the rest blurred. This isn't perfect, but it is pretty darn good.

Yes, I like these, but I much prefer your shot of the trike with the water bottles. This one's got too much blur in the bikes, maybe they're going too fast, and the lights seem fuzzed vertically, too, for some reason. This'll likely make it, but here's your token dissent:

Brendadada is right, the last vote is save 8. Because Ivan had voted twice for me. Thank you Ivan. And I didn't have the saveme first vote.

Pope Benedict XVI / God's Rottweiller - A Pope-ped? I'd love to see that. Perhaps you could get a number of the Sisters of the Mater Ecclesiae Convent to do a pyramid balancing act on your shoulders while you're at it.

As for this image WayneMethod - I love this even more than your previous photo for the sense of speed you've captured here. Admittedly the previous one was more technically correct but the subject seemed to "hang in space" more than your racers here - I love the motion in this even more and the extra blur on the riders achieves that feel.
