I can't see this artsy image in National Geo... they're more into details of nature, I think.
But, still ... it's a really cool shot... just not for this challenge, I fear.
I may or may not be voting, so please do not equate my comment with any score. |

1st response after opening the thumbnail: Wow! This image flies in the face of many of the comments I have left on other images in this challenge and may be "paraded" by some of the Prima Donnas who did not mark my crit's as being helpful or openly challenged them post rollover in the forums. One will contradict oneself occasionally. Critiquing is a very difficult thing to do. Expect to be attacked if your anything less than complimentary. Mostly it's boot licking because people are afraid or too PC to pass negative (read constructive) crit. Blah blah. Back to the shot.
It's urban. Its blueish. Its blurred. It's not tack sharp. It's not WILD life. The animal is not making eye contact with the reader/viewer. It's running from not toward the viewer. There's no catch-light in the eye. Is there an obvious story in the image?
Having said all that, many a shot in NG flies in the face of 1x and DPC conformity. Tack sharp, well lit, even exposure, smooth gradations, ROT. Need I go on? What I love about this image is the fleeting moment in time caught by your eye. The squirrel is beating a hasty retreat from something or someone. He's midair! The pan and slow shutter speed is giving movement to an otherwise static medium; stills photography. It's not a new technique sure but in this case, as in NG, shots like this are published to accentuate something in the text, relevant to the story. Squirrel vs man? Squirrels adaptation to the city vs natural habitat.
I love it and it's refreshing. Kudo's for submitting this highly unusual and atypical image in a difficult and controversial challenge. |
