I think it is a great portrait but, most likely, will not score high as it is not a studio shot with perfect lighting

I LOVE that this seems like a fortuitous glance into prepubescent angst. Marvelous image, Anita.

I gave this a 9. The tones are perfect and the blur of the background while keeping the main tree more in focus make this image spectacular. DPC members are a finicky bunch but I hope to see this in the top 10 at least! Good luck

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: An amalgam of sharpness and movement blur - like a linear tomogram... Panning from a moving vehicle? Whatever the technique, it is most effective. I really like your toning choices too with its wonderful greenish hue.

Critical stuff: Nothing

Overall: A very effective image - technique used to deliberate artistic intent. Well played.

The motion of the waves emphasize the drama. Very nice action shot.
