Movement Challenge Reject
I used this shot as a placeholder before we flew overseas, and well I personally liked it, but I got the office staff to help vote on what shot I should enter in the comp, trying to get a better idea of the voting public, rather then what appeals to me (though my collegues and you all have very different taste as well).
Anyways, I've decided bravely or stupidly, that I'll shoot something better for my second entry, so I thought I post it here to hear some feedback. With the level of other peoples entries I really need to lift my game, so please feel free to pick this one to pieces if you think is crap. 
Craig - it sure is different. I don't not like it, but I don't like it either
 . One of those strange photos Geoff
Special Moments Photography Nikon D700, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 70-200 2.8VR, SB800 & some simple studio stuff.
Thanks Geoff for the honest feedback, my wife really doesn't like it a big reason why it didn't get used as my entry... I dont' even know why I'm attached to it myself, and I'm not sure it really encapsulates the Movement theme nearly as well as some of the other entries. \ Yes TonyH - Getting driven home I caught the trolley, it stood out a mile being lime green, but I only got the one shot off as we pasted it.
Asking the office staff?
Is that one of your lifelines? Ask the office staff, phone an ex-friend, cut the photo in half.
I will say that it's different, and it's good to see that it's observing the relevant law - gravity. g.

Conceptually interesting, but a little too blurred. Now if the trolley was blurred and the background sharp - that would be good. Peter

Difference between a good street photographer and a great street photographer.... Removing objects that do not belong... happy for the comments, but .....Please DO NOT edit my image..... http://bigpix.smugmug.com Forever changing
Thanks for the comments.
big pix : Yes I liked the green, as I said it stood out on the street, previously I hadn't seen any of these green trolleys peter : your right, there too much movement in this shot, which is probably why shooting from a moving car hasn't provided many good results
gary : I was struggling to chose a standout in my possible entries, so yes I stooped to my first life line, send the photos around the office and poll them on their favourite to suit the movement theme. I think I just my own judgement for entry two
