Two of the most common techniques are blurred subject with the background in focus or blurred background with subject in focus. Use these or other techniques but you must show the motion.

May (Print) – Blue/Golden Hour: Any image capturing the colours close to sunrise and sunset. The Golden Hour is the time shortly before sunset or shortly after sunrise when the light is softer and redder.

Landscapes, city skylines, lakes and the sea, even portraits, have an extra impact from the soft light.
