I'm surprised this idea wasn't used more for this challenge. Having the subject stand still for a long exposure in the middle of people traffic is my first idea of "alone in a crowd". Tehcnically this is good, although I don't care aesthetically for the blue-steel look.

This is the technique I was going to use if I had time to enter this challenge. I think the subject would look more alone if she was not looking at the camera. I wonder what it would look like to use this concept looking down on the model (like looking down on her in a mall lobby or an airport from the the next floor above). Nice job. I was hoping to see a picture like yours.

"This photo has been validated."
I wonder why the request for this one to be validated? Very nice long exposure here. And based on what i've seen so far, this should do well! 10

I think this is the winner. :) Terrific pose and expression on her face. Just a great capture of the isolation of the teen years.
