Comment by Teafran:
Abstract in it's execution, there are two ways to view this image - negatively in the sense that it's undetailed and in no way, from a strict interpretation standpoint, indicates motion or the effects of motion. On the other hand, it's very abstract nature is indicative of motion and the colors and motion blue give it a certain feel, as it related to the challenge subject, that is a plus. In this kind of quandry, and given this reviewer's propensity to positively rate abstract images, the benefit of the doubt goes to the author. The blend of color and background are complimentary which is an artistic plus and can be viewed as a technical plus. Not necessarily to everyone's taste, this might break into the top twenty and possibly the top fifteen images if the commenters and reviewers give it chance by understanding the nature of impressionist imagery.

I'm in love with this picture (and not just because of the username either :p)
Artistic and beautifully soft, yet bursting with colour - the sort of thing I wouldn't mind hanging up on my wall.

Comment by Teafran:
The sense of "moment" is present in this image and the characters being captured carry visual impact. Technically, it's a very well composed image which is a huge plus. From an artistic standpoint, it lacks impact. A worthy entry into the challenge just lacking that something special to make it stand out.

Awesome location, great great idea, lovely b/w conversion and the subjects are wonderfully placed. I do feel that the composition needs a bit of work here though - I would either have zoomed in a bit further or cropped the tree-detail out of the top of the shot.
