A Study in Red and Gold

Feels like a glimpse of a world of only birds. The ducks, crane and red-winged blackbirds are placed as if inevitable, even amidst a flurry of activity. The title is certainly apt, yet there is so much more. Moving (no pun intended).

This was actually my favorite in the challenge. Lighting and palette are stunning. Though I really really like minimalism and the clean simplicity is what drew me to this immediately, I think I would like a little less space, maybe with subject off center. It's rare that I don't give a 10 to my top image, but this time 9 was my top. Congratulations on the HM.

Yes that's what I like too: there is a story behind all the blur.

Great story-telling, dramatically enhanced by the blur. Wonderful perspective and ghostly colors.
One of three personal favorites of the challenge.
