Aug 2, 2018		     For anyone reading this exchange who might be puzzled. In the comments on my entry, Jade indicated it was "Top 5". Jade then voted it as #8. I'm guessing Jade must be an accountant. All in good fun - I appreciated the comments and vote :-)

Aug 1, 2018		     So you want to be in my top 3, I know, but until you pay the increased rate, there's not much I can do! Lol
I thought this was the best pan, as I said, so I am especially pleased to learn you managed to give a gift to a stranger and earned a friend. I've done that myself when traveling and it really is true that a small thoughtful act can repay you ten fold. (So happy you didn't shoot the parents' heads in the foreground too! ha!)

Jul 31, 2018		     Thanks for the comments. I took this in the White Mountains N.H. on a day laced with heavy rain, dark clouds and brief flashes of sun. Every shot I tried was in different lighting which made it difficult to gauge the right settings. I wish I could have done a better job.
The parents were trying to capture this kid's first ride with a cell so I gave them my email. They were visiting from the Netherlands and were delighted to get the photo and shared with friends and family back home where it was well received. I have made some new friends, so the picture is a winner for me :-)
p.s. Jade - You are right about the lighting but in the future, I'd rather not be in your top 5 if possible LOL LOL

Jul 30, 2018		     Good idea for the theme, not bad resolved either. Somehow I feel it needs a little more blur to be completely effective, maybe shooting at like 1/40 instead of 1/60, to get the background more fuzzy - that could give more punch to the boy, i think. But well done anyway :)

Jul 30, 2018		     Panning shot I think.The background is suitably unsharp. Well composed. In my TT

Jul 28, 2018		     Once again not nailing the panning just right. Subject still still blurry.

Jul 28, 2018		     Good example of panning to show motion, though scene overall is somewhat unremarkable.

Jul 28, 2018		     It is a nice colour range, and a good subject.

I think the picture could have been more effective with even more blur - either panning or static.

Jul 27, 2018		     Maybe the best pan of the challenge. A really nice effort with a great subject. Needs some play with lighting to be more evocative of a mood. Top 5

Jul 27, 2018		     Very cute shot, but the child is a little out of focus for me.
