What fantastic splashes and swirls of color - is this a camera twist?

It's like the foreground foot got transported in time to the background. He's moving faster than his own feet. :)

So much going on in that window reflection - the buildings outside and the further mannequins inside, beyond the foreground one. Really nicely composed.

The colors work very well here, I'm not sure the downward angle works for me.

Odd man out - definitely strolling along more slowly than the others all around him. I think this shot is a story about that man.

Perspective + blur really makes this shot; the stairs bend in my mind's eye. I would love to see less of what's outside the window to the left of her legs, but any crop that loses more of her feet loses something important.

I wish that little guy in the background with a passive position wasn't there. He's breaking the strong notion of rhythm all around the composition. Of course only that small part of the photo is affected by this break. Clone out him (and maybe the other guy too) and you have here a perfect and superb image. Any way this is one of the best that I saw in this thread. Wonderful. Congrats!

Comment by posthumous:
This looks like a struggle against eternity, perhaps that is where the suffering comes from.

The blur looks like camera motion blur, but also the layering of images. In the middle left, we see a rather mundane image. It looks like a man being waited on. But they are caught up in the vortex of the Man With The Blue Shirt.

I would say that blur is more than a technique here. Blur is the subject of your photo. Each viewer might come to his/her own interpretation of what the blur signifies, but it cannot be ignored.

The emotional content is complex and subjective. For example, the distortions on the blue man border on grotesque, but the dominating circular patterns are energetic, might steer someone toward positive emotion.

Nice fluidity of colors - I believe a tighter crop on the left might be even more effective - with her raised hands ending in the upper corner.
