Obviously you are entitled to your opinion David but I cannot see this as a 'great shot'! The whole thing is blurred! Yes it gives the impression of speed but that's about all it does.

I still think it shows the speed of the train so therefore I think it's a great shot. It's just like the other Tamworth image.

I cannot agree. You could have panned it better I think. If you panned the camera so that it followed the train, and perhaps taken the shot at 90 degrees to the train rather than at an angle, you would have got a sharp train with a blurred background,...

If the shutter speed were too fast there would be no point in panning as the whole shot would be (almost) stationary. Therefore use a slow-ish shutter speed to get the most from panning.
