Motion Blur ... smiling child

[DOrtiz]

Hi again guys!

Yes, it's the pain-in-the-butt photographer wanna-be again.

Do you guys feel the motion blur on this image is to much; to little; or just right to capture the child's expression while still showing movement?

Personally, I think more motion would have helped.

OK, thanks for having a look and for the valued feedback.

i'd try to go on the ride and get a natural light shot looking out onto a blured background. I think that would look cool!

I'd have zoomed in more.

Could you not have moved and found an area that did not have a big sign on the fencing. I tried not to but I had to try and read it. Other than that, I like it

Agreed.
My opinion with this is - you want to capture some movement of the ride, therefore you want a good amount of blur.
But its not easy of course... :)

If I got on that ride and tried to shoot it as you've described, I'd probably capture myself barfing. :-) I can't go on anything that spins around. :-(
