FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB
Hello,
I like this picture very much, the colours, shapes, the crop, everything is very beautiful. But, like a couple of your commenters below, I am not making the connection to "Speed", unless I think of speed as movement, and you are depicting the camera's movement here.
It is a beautiful picture though. The yellows, oranges and blues are very clean, as is the movement. Technically I can find no fault with it.
As a composition it is very interesting, especially on second (or third ...) look. At first I think the reaction is, "Oh, just another long exposure." But on looking again, the building to the right becomes visible, the dark sky to the left. After that I start to see shapes, and the picture becomes a sexy abstract, at times an almost scary abstract. To the right there's a woman, bending backwards a little, as if she's trying to get away from something, possibly the big thing in the middle. The middle also looks like a being, but I can't tell the gender, and it's a frightening being. But I'm letting my imagination get away here.
Anyway. I like this picture. I think it didn't do better in the challenge because it doesn't come out and hit you, "THIS IS SPEED!!!". Your picture, though beautiful, is out of the norm. I like a lot of your pictures - you have quite a style!

| I would have preffered this without the 'ribbon' on the right. I like the idea. |

| Pretty colors but it doesn't really show speed to me, more just camera movement. 4 |

| This is a really cool photo its very abstract and creative Its great that you do something different than the norm. But I really cant tell what it is and I cant tell if there is some speed in it and dont know what this thing on the right is its a little disturbing mabey it would have been good to crop it off. I dont know ... ;) good luck - 6 *little edit* - The more I look a this picture the more I like it Im giving u 8 |

| A bit too abstract to convey any feeling of speed to me, personally... |
