This would have scored higher in my opinion if the focus was a bit sharper. I find it hard to tell what I am looking at. The colors look like they could be nice.

Interesting abstract. The shapes and colours work quite well, but the noise is very distracting. I think you could have applied NeatImage or similar without losing any of the image's quality, since it works without sharpness. 7.
It reminds me of a poem by e.e.cummings. Sorry, I can't find it anymore. PM me if you want me to mail it.

Very impressionistic. You probably aren't scoring very high with this image, as DPC voters tend to be very literalistic. I like the colors and the movement expressed in the image. I feel water and swimming - 8

I did vote this quite low the first round although I liked the colors alot. There doesn´t seem to be focus on anything specific and the swimmer is not clear enough to know what it is..bumping up a nodge..

All this blur does not make this photo intresting. This is just a lot of colors.
 01/26/2006 07:59:29 PM
I have no idea what this is. It suffers the same fate most abstracts do here... :(
 01/26/2006 07:56:00 AM
Sorry I can not make out what is in this picture. I know its probably abstract, but I can't see anything in it.
 01/26/2006 03:01:42 AM
I can not work this one out.....

I really cannot tell what is supposed to be swimming here. The image is just a blur to me - even the ledge in the background. Lookms like the colors would have been nice if not so blurry and noisy. Try using a tripod and timer if necessary.

I can not comment on this pix. I don't know what I am looking at. Try again.
 01/22/2006 12:17:06 PM
There's no focus, no subject and it seems to be out of square. Sorry, don't know what you're going for here.
 01/21/2006 04:52:21 PM
Not sure what I'm looking at here. The swirly colors look cool, though.
 01/21/2006 12:11:04 PM
this image is really out of focus and moved, the colors are all wrong and there is no way of telling what it is that's supposed to be swimming.

hope this image was put in this challenge for some other reason than to challenge other images, because I'm forced to give it my lowest score in this challenge, and the only one that gets a 1

Give it a few second and it starts to take shape. Bravo

The motion blur confuses me, so that I cannot understand the subject.

I can't tell what you're taking a pic off. blurry, out of focus. Sorry
 01/20/2006 08:10:42 AM
Vibrant colors.

I like the abstractness but I would have liked to see at least 1 thing in focus, even if it was tiny.

I really like this image. I'm not sure what it is, but I love the colors. The only thing that is bothering me slightly is the relatively rough edges of the motion blur (I don't know if that was done in camera or in pp) in the top fifth of the image, particularly in the upper left. However, I still like the image very much.

Seems like there's camera motion here that detracts from the subject - hard to tell what it is.

Not sure what the objective is for this image. I can't make anything of it.

I like the colors.

Extremely out of focus, I don't know what this is a picture of.

I'm betting this is getting hammered, but I really like it.
