Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I like that you've put this into the Free Study and how it makes me think about what I'm seeing. It looks like it's been made through the bottom of a glass bottle. The colours are really nice and their arrangement serves to give the brain enough information to work out what it is seeing.

Critical stuff: Even with the effect, there is only so much interest in this scene and as such I don't think it would hold a viewer's attention for too long.

Overall: Interesting, but is it interesting enough?

Gonna have to skip voting this one, since I feel I'm biased knowing whose it is from the side challenge. Especially since it gave me the idea for my dreams entry. I'll be curious to see how it fares in the court of broad appeal. It really is a cool effect and I'll probably experiment with it some more myself.

Made me queasy. Gorgeous colors, but I can't look at it.

A much more original approach to the autumnal season than most others, I'll be interested to see how you've achieved this, good luck

Merci beaucoup John. ;)

There is four problems with this shot ... in a DPC challenge :
- the motion blur
- washed colors
- centered composition
- the max height size : here is a larger size which puts the viewer in a closer view
another one is the missing jack to connect the guitar :D

For this one, I really don't care about the challenge result ... because I was happy to create it !
Thanks for the comments, everyone who liked and everyone who disliked it. ;)

My Favorite in the challenge, i honestly thought this would surely win, didn't deserve a sub 6 score.

Tome, the aperture is 1/15s, this is very short for the total spin. So I did it really fast.
The fact is the faster you move your cam, the smoother your blur is, because there is less micro shaking from your hands.
