So....the weekend competition entries have all been submitted and we're busy with the voting.
How about some feedback on the various entries???? I'll start...
Steve12: very nice colourful shot, creative and well executed. Sticks to the subject of the competition...but what is it???

Bluecabbage: nice car trails, it really needs to be viewed in full size so the road paint is visible, which improves the interest. but more is really needed, the picture lacks a focal point, or something in the foreground?
aussie shaun: Nice shot, obviously you were thinking along the same lines as myself. I like this one, it verges on the abstract.
hevans: well, I won't comment on my own...but it was fun mucking around with the setup trying to get the shot.
kevip6: It's a nice shot of the wheel, but the motion is kind of lost. Try playing with the shutter speed so the wheel is only turning ~10 - 20 degrees (?) in the photo. I like the ghostly capture of the ball, but where did it go when the flash went off? Did you use a flash, or is it a superpositon of two shots? How did you get the ghostly ball, but clear numbers?
DaLuds: sorry, laundry just doesn't get me excited, just had too much to do this last weekend. The other shot of the birds was more to my tastes.
rob@dcmag: you also thought along the same lines as myself. I'd also tried initially to capture the second hand tick on my watch (see my gallery for the results). I gave up because I was having difficulty making it into an interesting shot. still it was fun trying.
Allenh: this one was the favourite of my son (1.5 yrs old). Good capture of the streak...but a bit more space on the left would have been good - admittedly a moving target is difficult to shoot.
oRGie: This is just blatant showing off....
Great picture, and from the voting, one of the favourites. Really well done.
nomadr: This is my favourite. love the motion in the water and the canoeist, just brilliant. nuf said.
ian140: really nice B+W shot. I like it.. now if you could have gotten the bike coming off the stand and zooming away riderless, it would have been more amusing

Jack2: very good shot, good panning, well done. Nice streaking of the background, really sets the subject off well.
AnthonyMiller: I really like this, the way the buildings are visible through the fire engine. Really really nice. Wouldn't have known it was a firetruck without the title.
Hayley Roberts: Good shot of the cradle. Perhaps you could use a flash next time? It might make some of the balls clearer. Looking at their transparency at the extremes of the swing I am reminded of simple harmonic motion and how the velocity changes with displacement.....sorry getting too much into physics again

top totty: you need to sell this one to the Dr. Who producers - it looks like something the Tardis would go through while travelling. The colours and shapes are just great.
sue allen: I was surprised you didn't enter a good shot of a waterbird in action! The one of the mallard showing off his plumage was brilliant, or the B+W one.
Richsarg34: Good shot of the train, did you use a tripod, there's a bit of camera shake that fuzzes out the power lines and surroundings.The track leads the eye nicely.
Nat: really really interesting shot. Were they sparklers or a real pyromaniac at work?
Chris West: lovely carrousel, motion well captured. Did you also try panning with the horse/rider and blur out the background? It'd be interesting to see that version for a comparison.
Harry Shepherd: nice shot, very appealing, is it the same apple but from two sides, that would be quite an achievement.
rekitrallying: Wish I'd thought of taking the daughter off for a slide. Really nice shot, captures the motion well. I much prefer it to the others you posted in the reject thread.
