Photo Challenge: Show Us Your Best Action Shot

A sense of motion can turn a static photo into something truly engaging. Whether it's a car speeding down the highway or a puppy catching a tennis ball mid-air, we want to see action!

This week for the Mashable Photo Challenge, we're looking for movement. So, we want you to send us your best action shots.

When you're capturing your photo this week, think of a subject that exemplifies momentum. If you're shooting with a DSLR, you will probably adjust your shutter speed to get the perfect shot. If you're shooting on a mobile phone, get creative and remember how important a strong subject is.
