I'm posting this for Uncle Frank, the winner of contest for best flower photo, since he's going away for a bit and needs someone else to manage the contest. Here's what he says:

NEW CONTEST!
I've found out my prize for winning the "Your Best Flower Picture" contest was a bumper sticker, and my punishment is having to come up with the theme for the next contest -lol. So, here's the game:
CAPTURING KINETIC ENERGY
Most action photography consists of "freezing" a moving subject, but the results can be more striking if you capture the motion as well as the moment. The winner of this contest will present the composition that best incorporates motion as a design element. My example is a shot I took of a hovering hummingbird that stopped the body, but not the wings.
Panning shots would be excellent for this contest, and I'd enter one if I wasn't so bad at it. Good luck, as I hear Jay is going to award an amazing prize to the winner!

We'll run this for 14 days. Good luck!
