Both of these photos are by Jeff Cable.  This is an example of panned motion, where the car is in focus and the background is blurry. This kind of photo shows that the car is in motion and makes it feel like the car is moving at such a fast speed that the its surroundings are just a blur as they go by.

This photo shows frozen motion. It shows the swimmer as they come out of the water and the water is frozen. You can see the drops of water in the air, which is pretty cool. You can see so much detail with this kind of photograph. Its cool to have action shots with frozen motion.

Steve McCurry

This is an image by Steve McCurry, and it was taken in Afghanistan. This is an example of shallow depth of field, since the focus is around the mans face. The animals in the background are out of focus. I think that McCurry wanted the focus to be on the face and not the background because he wanted to show the emotion of the man. He wanted to the viewers to focus on his face, and not on what was going on around him. With the animals in the background it adds more to the picture, but since they're not in focus, we know that they're not the focal point of the photo.

This is another picture by Steve McCurry, of an woman in Indonesia working in a field that has been destroyed by volcanic ash. This shows deep depth of field, with both the foreground and the background in focus. I think that he used a deep depth of field because the background is just as important as the foreground. In the back is the volcano that destroyed the field that is in the front..
