I really like the implied motion and the way the rack looks all blurred. I had to run as fast as I could w/ my tripod and 500mm lens attached through a field w/ many pot holes to try to get ahead of this bull. I never did catch him. Even when they are not running full speed they are fast! I wish that I had been able to get a little more in front of it for a better angle but I do still like it. I also wish he had opened his eye! A slice of canvas was added to the back.

I think your efforts chasing that moose paid off, this actually does look really good. It might be cool to experiment with different versions and effects, but I like it.
Denise, I too have tried to outpace moose and I have never won so I can picture you doing this, tripod and all. Still a great blur capture. I like those little swirls at the tips of the antlers.
Hi Denise, lovely blurry moose. I like the fact that you can't see the bottoms of the legs, I think it helps to imply the speed that he was moving at. Nicely done!
Denise, well its back to gym for you:w Having the legs blurred more than the body shows a sense of speed here. Thanks for sharing what you went through to capture this.:)
Bull Moose Blur
a fantastic blur effect that I'm going to try on some birds this year.
