It's beautiful! I love it when the sky is the background. I think it makes the subject really pop!

she's trying to learn panning, my first attempts at it were nothing but snapshot quaility as well (and still aren't top level quailty), it's not about getting "the shot" it's about learning how to improve so she can get "the shot" when it matters. Please give her feedback on how to improve so she can grow.
Wow thank you I know that you take AMAZING photos so this comment means alot to me. That is exactly what i want ...to improve.

Its a snapshot.
Of course its a snapshot! I'm not a professional nor did I in any way claim to be one I'm trying to learn and thats why I posted it here because I WANT to learn. Unfortunately for you and many of my friends I am a stay at home mom of three and they are my practice subjects I'm sorry but right now all my flowers are dead so this is all i have to practice with. Any suggestions??

I think you need more space at the left and top. He doesn't appear to be all the way into the frame and the top of his head needs more clearance.

no one mentioned a tripod I was in my mind trying to figure out how that would work because it is so difficult to get pics of my kids. but i figured maybe that was the way to compose the shot properly. they were riding up and down the driveway but that was the only one where he was in "focus" (I tried to focus on his eyes but someone mentioned earlier I wasn't successful with that either) and was looking at me and had a nice smile on his face. I'm not sure how to compose a moving target any suggestions ... I know your supposed to leave room in front of the subject so they have room to "move" into. I tried to do that I realize the flowers distract and when i get a couple of minutes i will work on that. If you have any suggestions i would appreciate it.

I would also like to see more of his hands and the handlebars + remove the yellow thingies in background, bottom right side. It's definitely a fun image and one you all can enjoy - no tearing apart needed, verbal or otherwise :)
oh thanks i'll definitely take care of that.

it's not 100 percent in focus but considering it's one of your first times tryint to pan I think it's pretty good. The exposure is good.
I do wish you would have gotten his hands and the handlebars in the frame, that would have given the image a little more in the way of storyteling.

Thank you for looking and yes I agree I should have had it on a tripod ready I was so focused on getting the pan right unfortunately I didn't compose properly.

I have been wanting to get a photo into this section for a while but didn't feel like i had any photos that were good enough to get verbally torn apart. This was a shot of my middle child riding his bike... so i had to pan to freeze time along with other things and I have been having tremendous difficulty doing this but i think i finally got it. Please let me have it! Thank you.
