Your images are super fun! I think the first image captures movement very well using the water and I also like how there is some blur there for motion. I do wish your second and third images did not cut off the subjects. I think that having your subjects be fully in the picture would help convey movement. With the horse photo for example, the horse's leg position would portray motion well.
Hi Emily. As per your email, I see what you mean. Yes, I would encourage you to shoot a lot more for the assignment and while I'm asking for some kind of movement, don't get so hung up on forcing that movement to take place. Meaning, if you are going to have someone riding a bike, it needs to be more natural or purposeful. Otherwise it is an act for the photographic process as opposed to you an interesting photo of something in motion.
Go to link to see a nice photo of someone on a bike. Here the photographer has placed them inside of a very interesting frame with lots of lines and movement. I hate to use the phrase, "Get Crazy," but I think that's what you need to do. These images are too safe. Good luck!
My favorite image in this series is definitely the biker- I think that the playful gesture in the hands really brought out the sense of movement as well as the fact that the person is on a bike. maybe you can push the blurriness in the figure to give suggest movement even further
