Comment by Yo_Spiff:
I don't think it is blur, so much as a lack of the fine clarity that most look for in a scene like this. Perhaps a side effect of the post processing. I will sometimes find I lose some fine detail in my effort to make something pop. Though you did have a wide aperture and slow shutter speed. I have been finding that with my SLR I can get away with bumping up the ISO to higher levels with little to no visible noise. That may be a preferable option instead of a slow shutter speed. The image does have a neat 3-dimensional feel to it. I like the composition.

I enjoy the painted sky and the story behind the truck. but... the lighting is a bit awkward, leaves the truck halfway between silouette and foreground subject. It's a pleasing shot, but the lighting could have made it better.

p.s.

1. I don't see any blur

2. If there is any blur, then I like it. More detail would distract from the patterns.

yeah, this does a good job of showing the excessiveness of cathedral architecture. It gives a glimpse of many different patterns at once. Good fit to the challenge. (if you care about the opinion of an immature lout like me)

I thought this was very pretty and all the lines and patterns made this interesting to look at. I did give it a 6 but would have given it a higher score if the slight blur was not there. With all these beautiful lines, I am expecting something crisp and sharp so that I can enjoy all the specific details in the architecture.

This is quite beautiful because of the chaos. Swirls and circles and squares and rectangles all with a splash of beautiful rich color.

Comment by SoulMan1978:
I think your shot might have had the same problems mine did - too much pattern (well we both have comments to that effect anyway - I can't see how you can meet the challenge *too much* personally). That and the slight lack of sharpness might have hurt your voting.

That said, I like the angle and it's a good fit for the challenge.

This shot would have been the winner if it had met the challenge.
