Really nice to see your motion blur work, following Rachel's recent post. As mentioned on her shot, I do enjoy seeing something a bit different to the usual. The smearing of the background is excellent on this. Looks like the background was quite close behind as I can see a lot of virtual detail there (smeared points of light and colour rather than blobs of blur). That works really well. The effect you've achieved is quite artistic. The only thing I'd wish for is a little more sharpness around the head of one or both animals but I know this is very hard to achieve on these types of shots.

Hi Marc - These are very difficult to achieve and you have done quite well. I think the level of sharpness here is acceptable.

TFS,
Rachel

HI Marc -- I agree with Rachel, These are very difficult shots to achieve and you have done very well in capturing this image and conveys the msg as per your intro very accurately . Loved it .

TFS !

This is great. The blur is perfect. The comp is nice as well. Well done.

Total mastery of a camera and its capabilities !!!!

Excellent image Marc, conveys the commotion and the blur is just right with the horizontal panning. Well done.
