•  Oppose Interesting subject, but poor composition and no 'wow' at all. -- MJJR (talk) 21:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Info I see that no one finds my picture interesting. I thought it was interesting because this truck is moving at high speed, and the motion blur is on the background, not the truck. Plus the early morning shadows don't look bad on the bridge support. Is the motion blur actually bad or does it not stand out enough? --Specious (talk) 22:18, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

• I'd say it's a good try at background motion blur with a moving subject, as you may have had some difficulties with the lightning and the high speed of the vehicles. However, when I'm voting for FPC, I'm searching for "that special thing" that makes the picture stands out. On your picture, the motion blur stands out as the "special thing", but other things like the perspective (flat view on the side of the truck), crop (missing part of the truck's wheel) and background (although there's the morning light, this concrete and steel bridge is not the cutest background) scales the "wow" factor down to an average photography. Just try again and keep in mind that less than 0.1% of the pictures on commons are FPC, so it may take a lot of time to get "that perfect shot". --S23678 (talk) 03:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
