This is a really excellent image - great balance of colour and movement. Not one for DP Challenge perhaps but don't let that detract. Great work.

Good abstract image. Not sure it really works for me as to this challenge.

I am unsure of what I am looking at. Nothing in the image is in focus.

This image is way too blurry and you can't really tell what it is!!

I get the intent, I think. Not sure it worked for you.

Ok, I almost understand this idea. There is several ways people have come up with to pull teeth. However, the blurred out of focus motion blured image is not very appealing. It does not tell me a clear story or idea.

Too blurry, no idea what I'm looking at...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I don't know what this is (a string tied to a door to pull the tooth out?) but it looks really cool! 10 cause I know you need the help.

Ah, a daring entry! I'm a sucker for abstracts. It is unfortunate that there seems to not be a lot of folks that can appreciate the genre. I really like the warm tones here. The blackness at the left edge of frame I believe works well, adding a little weight and direction to the composition. I'm left wishing there were just a touch more feeling of motion, or flow in the shot, but still a good score from me. Nice job.

The concept is there, and its great, however I think if it was executed better, than It would have been a great photo.

I do not understand what this is an image of. It is very unclear. Nice try but next time make it sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2007 07:55:27 AM
can't figure out what it is
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice concept. The shutter speed is a neat idea to symbolize how you would feel after doing that! However, it makes the photo difficult to recognize because there's so much motion.

I know the blur is from the movement (slamming the dooor?)but it would be better (IMO)with a little less blur so you could tell for sure what it is. Without the title, I'd have a hard time guessing.

I sorta like this abstract, but the title ruins it for me because I'm left trying to bring it into the shot. I can't do it. I'm gonna take this just as an abstract and forget about the DNMC part. 6

Is that string on a door? Little difficult to make out - Like the motion though.

I'm not sure what I am suppose to see... some rotating tool?

Too blurry.

Well, I think I've found the Brown winner...!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2007 06:33:53 AM
without the title, I'd have no clue what this is. Even WITH the title, I still cannot identify it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What is it? The image is not sharp enough. Maybe if there was more color or if something in the picture was in focus.

Doesn't really say alternative medicine to me, but I think it's a great abstract.

floss? a little too blurry, hard to make out what's happening.
