Motion Blur

[icewater]

before : blurred image of a bigbike



after : played with lightroom and photoshop (filter:motion blur)

I'm confused as to what was trying to be acheived here.

I'm confused as to where the 'motion' is besides the filter.... the guy looks pretty stationary to me.

I like that the colours in the after image are more saturated, but you seem to have lost the subject of your photo! I do like the smooth saturated colours in the middle of your second image, but the photo overall loses interest with the motorcycle rider gone. The motion blur might be more useful here if you were able to only affect a portion of the image (I'm not at all familiar with lightroom, but in photoshop I might play around with feathered selections and layers).

Check out my post on motion blur, I just happened capture these shots in a 600CC and 115CC bike racing.

I dont want to over critique your picture, as maybe thats the effect you where after. If you wanted a more abstract motion blur effect, then you definately got that. Either way, I really like the colours in the after picture.

Image 1 definitely needed help :P

If I were you, I would have touched only the "motion" bit of it and not the biker.

Image 2:

This is completely abstratc (a good one at that), but the very purpose of before Vs after is not satisfied (unless this is exactly what you wanted as the end result).

I think you applied too much motion blur as the motorbike doesn't exist anymore
