This would be better if the windmill was actually the subject of the photo.

Comment by Falc:
I think that because the people are in foreground and in focus these are the main subjects. The out of focus windmill blends into the background. Therefore, I don't believe this meets the challenge exception.

Nice enough image though

I just discovered this image, GREAT shot.

very artsy and somewhat provocative, love it.

Technically very powerful use of light and miraculous use of the blinds...with no "zebra effect".

constructive comment: the only thing that "bugs" me is the shadow of the hair...perhaps some cloning out to make the hair seem more "in place".

i really like your approach , but the red tone (which suits the photo IMO) doesnt fit with the title/challenge.

Comment by Artifacts:
Unique coloring, action pose and good use of the rule of thirds. Different interpretation of the challenge topic. Overall photographic quality is good.

Your presentation very interesting. The use of blur to convey the sense of action by your model is a very interesting idea that wil work for some viewers but not for others.

I like this shot and technique. For a second I thought I saw a face in the "shadows" on the left. I may need help.

I don't really like the effect here. It reminds me of fogged film.
