Although I voted for three my favorite is #6 (Water In Motion).
I loved the composition and the feeling of water refreshment.
The statue comes to “life” from the divine gifted water!
Congrats to the photographer!

My votes go to:
#24 - I like the concept and the execution
#3 - excellent sense of motion
#1 - a real classic!

My favorite, (besides my own) is #35. I didn’t realize a camera has the same memory of motion as our eyes. I’m going to have to try a shot like that sometime. Another thing I see from the auto entries is that it’s difficult to convey the feeling of motion/speed of a race car. As my weekend ride is a slightly modified Mustang GT ;) , I’m well aware of the stresses the chassis goes through coming out of a tight corner.
Good job all who entered, and may the best shot win.

LOL.. I voted for #16 because I like old machines. I also like #1 because the pan is great.

Hey Guys,

#1 Classic motion, this image screams motion to me and i love it - it looks great and the skill to get this image is something I aspire towards...

#24 Loads of feel of motion, definitely something i'd would associate with motion - great capture and timing

#27 Loved the feel of this image, brings back memories of sticking head out the window and the wind blowing so hard that you cant open your eyes properly and u can't breath properly !!! I know most will know what i mean :)

There were other very commendable images that gave across the feel of motion, however the above three for me were the best examples of motion on that web page.

Great Stuff, look forward to the next one :)

Laters !

#27 - This picture conveyed the sense of motion best for me.
#7 - I like the colors and the blur really gave a great sense of motion
#11 - I like the feel of the shot

[T.O.]

#9

I voted for only one of them cause I feel it makes the difference. I very much enjoyed the cinematographic look of that photo. The subject is still, yet the image is moving. Colours are great, composition and exposure as well, and this image tells a story.

hey, i got a vote and it wasn't me, yay :D

27 32 35 are my picks, i love em :D

[Matthew_h]

I've voted for 27, 9 and 11

27 because I love the effect of the blurring of the trees and I feel it says "motion" best of all of them to me

9 because it is a very clever shot and although the main focal point of the shot is stationary there is great juxtaposition between that and the speeding train

11 just because it is a great capture.

[Claire]

I voted #1, 8 and 9.

#1 is really nice motion of the horse. #8 is wonderfully artistic and feels a bit abstract to me. #9 feels like a nice photojournalistic shot and I feel like I'm standing behind him.

[gravespinner]

I voted for #27 because you can feel the motion. I went back to this image several times.
I like #28 because it depicts motion in an otherwise still setting.
#1 received my vote for the intensity and power of the motion.

[MattyB]

i got more votes :D:D
can't say how many, it might give away which is mine
but yay

[Big_B]

Voting closes in two days!

[jboyd]

Wow, lots of great photos here. This is my first time participating in the voting, and I even entered the next competition!

I love the motion in #27, and the look in the dog's eye in #37 - he is locked in on his target.

[FlipFlopWS6]

the dog one is hilarious. (#37)

it got my vote!! :D

[Nidz]

Mattyb.. If you beat me your not getting to use my lenses.. haha..

[ImagineTNT]

I voted for #24 and #9. I like #24 because a caption that just comes to mind is a bear "in-motion". Great capture and I especially like how the face is (more or less) in focus while the rest is motioned-out. I like #9 because it shows motion very subtly. I really like how the photo pulls you in to figure out what's going on (even with the "motion" contest frame of reference) and how you can see the people on both sides of the subway/tram/name you use. The main subject is also interestingly framed.

Voting closed. I'll post a results thread in just a moment
