Very well captured panning shot and very well framed. The sharpness of the image is spot on. Even the contrast of bike and rider against the background hits the right notes. To capture a panning shot of this standard must've taken a lot of practise. Congratulations on a superb image

Panning to this level must have taken a lot of practise. This is a great action shot. The colours pop beautifully and the subject is sharp. So much to think about when shooting an image like this and you've nailed it. well done

A great example of panning photography, this image is very sharp (the slight out of focus spoiler works well), and the bright red livery compliments the background very well. The framing is spot on and well captured at a relatively slow shutter speed. Very well done on a fantastic image

A fine example of panning photography. This must've taken perfect timing to capture the subject as sharp as you have, but also to blur the background with your fast shutter speed. Great contrast of the main subject against the dull background and even captured a reflection. A fantastic job. Very well done

A great example of panning. It looks like you've shot this at an elevated position. The colours are perfect, great contrasts throughout and perfect framing. The subject is very sharp. This is a high quality image. congratulations on an awesome shot

Brief

Panning is the art of capturing a moving subject whilst moving your camera to match the target speed in order to obtain a sharp subject against an out-of-focus background. I would like to see your best photos that demonstrate the skill of panning. The subject can be anything that is moving whether it is a bird in flight, someone jogging or a racing car etc. For my judging I will be looking for soft or low light panning and images that show a sharp subject against an out-of-focus background. I look forward to see your entries.
