Hope you didn't have to waste too much ice cream. :-)

Nobody gives any notice to the lone guitar man

Bonus how the blur pattern resembles a waving flag ...

Whenever I play at sports photography I usually make a few tries at catching the ball at the point of impact -- rarely successfully. Great work showing the compression/distortion of the ball, and excellent clarity and focus under what were probably problematic lighting conditions.

8 ball break - motion blur
by Tobi

Comment:
I've used pool as a vehicle for illustrating motion blur myself -- this is a very good example. Because you have such good "tracks" of the "particles" I'd have been tempted to title it something like "Large Hadron Collider: Home Model" ... ;-)

Great framing of the structure by the dark clouds, while maintaining good texture in the sky.

There's an interesting contrast between the straight line marking the bottom edge of the upper panels, and the erose bottom edge of the middle panels. I also like the curls of the barbed/razor wire against the straight lines of the wall. Processing/color look appropriately gritty ...

Pretty colors and curves.

Thank you for striking a blow for art derived from photos ... I don't use filters much, but I love to play around with color shifts to create abstracts from otherwise mundane pictures.

Often when I do something like this, I'll also post a link to the original source image, just so people have a reference point, and perhaps wonder how I got from that to this ... ;-)

I really like the way you've arranged these -- each picture is nice, but I think they're made more special by the presentation.

I like backlighting flowers with large petals -- works well here, as does the black & white treatment; I might have to try that on some of mine ...

These have a nice crinkly texture and central detail. I wish the background foliage was a bit lighter to set them off more.
