I like this one; at first glance it looks bad due to the blur (the composition being good)... But looking more closely there is just enough stillness on the dress to draw your eye there... This I think against the motion of the rest of the shot makes it a good photo; as looking at it I wanted to carry on staring at it to take in all the detail... It's a nice mix of detail and blur!
Thanks Timothy. The blur was actually not intentional. I had just come from shooting outside, and I had the camera at f/11 and didn't change it for this shot.
I do agree that the blur in this photo has it's problems, even though the focus is on the dress. I think it works over all, but it has enough blur (in the wrong places) to annoy me as well. Thanks for your input.

I like this one. It leaves some things to the imagination.

I am interested though; was the blur intentional?
