Challenge: Two Colors (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A710
Date: Feb 28, 2011
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 400
Shutter: 0.6
Galleries: Photo-Impressionism, Street
Date Uploaded: Feb 28, 2011

 My first attempt at photo impressionism. The blur creates the atmosphere but it is very likely to attract very low votes. This photo might be also perceived as DNMC by some.

The two figures give it an air of mystery. Do they know one another? Is the one on the right following the other? The smoke in the background and the orange glow on the right add to the mystery..

I really like the atmosphere, the composition and the colors. A score of 4.7 or am I too optimistic? (a new PW - Personal Worst!:) Looking forward to comments! I hope I will get at least 10 interesting comments!

Unfortunately thin on the comments but well on the way to PW. Maybe even a Brown!

Thanks for the comment: "either brilliant because it was intentional and very artistic, or just a good effort and more lucky" but I think the photo should be judged by outcome, not the technique.

Thanks but this is why I missed out on brown!

It has a Currier & Ives feel. Well done.

Awesome, but you probably know these blurry shots don't normally do well, even though I like it, most Dper's don't.

Interesting. It's either brilliant because it was intentional and very artistic, or just a good effort and more lucky - 6
