Excellent photo. Nicely judged panning too.
Another one of those utter b
ks long exposure blurry water shots, I fully apologise to all concerned.
Whats even worse is I shot it whilst teaching others to do the same, I have no shame.

That works, as Dibbly said the foreground patterns captured are very cool.
As an aside (and not aimed at you Rob, just a general comment) I can understand some peoples beef with overuse of long exposures - they can be used creatively to very good effect, but also at times don't really add artistic value to images and seem more like a technical demonstration, like someone just wanted to show off that they have an x stop ND filter. Some images give the impression of equipment/technique used well to achieve a creative vision, others give the impression of equipment/technique used as a substitute for creativity, composition etc.
But art is subjective of course, so if someone has different taste I'm not going to go off on a rant and call it rubbish!
Some people have a style, some have a preference for certain looks.
I tend to use shutter speed creatively when I think there's a good reason too, it's a pillar of landscape photography (amongst others..)
Looking through my Flickr stream I don't think I overly rely on it but then I'm fairly non specialists. If I'm shooting seascapes though I really want to show that energy and motion

At the other end of the shutter speed scale (sort of) and still involving water there is the question of personal preference when shooting cars (especially cars participating in motor sport) in the rain. Do you try to grab the dramatic droplet of spray using a fast shutter speed but at the risk of freezing, for example, the rotation of the wheels? Or do you go for a sort of mist effect where individual droplets are much less defined or perhaps not defined at all?I tend to use shutter speed creatively when I think there's a good reason too, it's a pillar of landscape photography (amongst others..)

On the day it comes down to subject matter and personal preferences. Unless the shot is being undertaken for a client with a specific brief.
Somewhere in the middle can be carried of as a style but unless handle very skillfully nearly always seems to me to be neither one thing nor the other. Nothing more interesting than a snap shot. Snapshots are fine for recording and action or event but not so often examples of a really engaging photo- until they are something over 50 years old!
