I had initially submitted a like-minded shot but my execution and outcome were about 20 floors below this one. Excellent composition and all around wonderful shot. Not overdone. Just right. Great work.

i believe this art, and photography in one. I give this a ten because it achieves both the artistic rendering of a vision, while at the same time requiring a relatively high technical skills in order to be executed. It is not randomly blurred. It was blurred with precision. And the blurness is not because you lacked the skill and equipment. It is blurred because it was intended to be.

Beautiful portrait. Light is remarkable, especially with the natural and cooler backlighting. Love that the guy is not quite looking at camera; that's a master touch. 9. Thank you.
