In "the old days" I might have had a chance to recognize where it came from.

I always like seeing the tops of the clouds.

Perfect amount of motion blur in your blind marchers. I don't know if that bit of bright background needs to be quite that bright, but overall tone range (into the deep blacks) is great.

Emersion From Inversion

I'd have cropped out the little bit of branch (or whatever it is) in the very top-right corner. Otherwise, I like the way you have a contrast between warm and cold tones, along a strong diagonal.

Looks a lot better than my last moss photo -- good job with the lighting and tone adjustments!

Flash Photographer At Work

Thanks for the comments. Perhaps I should have titled it Flash Photographer Ruining My Shot. (Although the additional light probably made the ceiling look a bit better.)

I myself was impressed at capturing the flash -- the available exposure window must be pretty short. It's kind of like capturing a home run hitter at the moment the ball is in contact with the bat. Given the shutter-lag on my camera, it is a remarkable coincidence to me ....

Ah, I see the slight rotation now!

Originally posted by Olyuzi: I think you should have left this image as a bit of photojournalism rather than applying post processing modifications that confuse the issue. You were probably after some sort of futuristic/sci-fi artisitic effect, but it didn't serve the purpose because it wasn't carried out well enough. Had you left the telephone pole recognizable I think more people would have got it.

Thanks! The goal was not so much to create a futuristic look as to intoduce enough contrast into a very poor exposure that enough detail can be seen and the subject identified. The weird color shifts are just a (un)fortunate byproduct.

Excellent capture ... I've been practicing some shots like this recently and it's really hard! (Especially without so high a shutter speed or zoom factor or manual focus :( ) Congratulations on another top-ten finish.
