Hi Stephen,
If it's anything like
http://pug.komkon.org/00june/MotoPan1.html
where there is a distinct difference in blur between various parts
of the driver (much easily spotted on the big enlargement), this
may be due to the slight difference in angle between subject and
panning direction. Also, the motorbike was heading towards me, hence
a part of the subject may have fallen outside the dof.
Servus, Alin
