3rd place: Cheryl Slechta: http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?69836 PP Zoom Blur - Juvi NH

Congrats to Cheryl and Mark.

And thanks to all who entered. There were lots of excellent images that I loved entered as Weekly Theme that just did not show much if any zoom blurring. My taste for zoom blurs runs to images with lots of radial blurring rather than to those with subtle radial blurring. I think that at some point down the road that it might be a good plan to repeat this theme. When I see color and low light I usually think zoom blur. Even though it is a bit after the fact you may wish to check out my Zoom Blur Basics tutorial in the ER here: Zoom Blur Tutorial.

Later and love and great picture-making, artie
