Day 7: Crowded Train (3)

Comment by SandyP:
This is VERY cool! You know what I would do. ..as if you didn't have enough variations -- but I LOVE the smart blur one. It looks amazing and so artistic and . . .yes, painting like. But I would copy that version and paste it over the totally sharp one, and erase only the girl looking at you -- so you have that cool artistic effect, but the girl looking at you would really pop. I think the other one that is all blurry but only she is sharp -- she gets kind of lost in the blur. But the change in texture and effect may make her really stand out.

I love this! Everyone looks so intense. No one smiling. I wonder if that's a D.C. thing. Down here in the south, you will generally find at least several people being friendly and smiling :) Very cool photo.

How did you DO THAT!!!! I have always loved these artistic smoke shots! It seems to me like they win ribbons. This one seems like it should for sure :)

I think if the guy in the middle were sharp (focus-wise, that is), it would work better. I havent' looked at all the pics yet, though.

Jeffrey, great job. It almost looks like silk instead of smoke. I gave this shot a 7. I'm going to have to try that sometime.

I've never tried this with smart blur like this, I think it works some but still but my least favorite of the bunch. I think my order is 3, 1, 2 4.

Of the two gradient blurs I like this one better because it has the girls expression in the door way. Maybe fade the gradient layer back some so the feeling of the blur isn't so obvious and more felt. Definitely an interesting technique.

I, personally, like the one with rainbow colours on black the best. (How did you get those colours?) I don't like the tip of the incense showing in the image.
