U.S. Marines conduct a night patrol outside the city of Garma/Karmah in Anbar Province, Iraq in June, 2008. The Marines were searching for information regarding the suicide blast which killed several Marines and dozens of Iraqi civilians.
If you're going for a Capa-esque motion blur realism, it's not quite there. First off, Capa's D-day photos weren't motion blurred, they were blurred from degraded film. He actually lost a lot of pictures. The ones that did get developed worked so well because they were blurred but still had elements which were in crisp focus. It was a sort of minds-eye image that really focused you on a mans face while things blurred around him- in the middle of the action. Just being motion blurred doesn't really connect to the viewer. It's more an abstract exercise. That would be fine in a fine art context, but leaves something out in a photojournalist context.

"Don't listen to the critics..."
That's got to be the worst advice I've ever heard given to a person in a creative field.
