Living?

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I do like the swirly blur here - it makes me feel that I am somewhat out of phase with the world I am seeing. I think that's an accomplishment to shift the sense of blur and movement away from the subject and onto us. I'm particularly fond of the building behind and the hints of the wider world so revealed.

Critical stuff: For all of the comments above, I do feel that the image is ever so slightly over-contrived. I often like that, it communicates the photographers intent but here, there seems to be something a little lacking.... Like you don't quite believe in the image. That sounds like nonsense as I read it back - but that's how I feel.

Overall: A well executed image with some fascination but for me - the more I look at it, the more hollow it feels. I wonder if I looked for longer it would turn me again...

A little something more reveals itself everytime I look at it. The wonderful enigma is that all these little somethings only strengthen the mystery.

Love the echo of circular shapes, leaves, lines and the staggered layers of it all.

Sweet. I'm imagining it in b/w. I think it would pull out the reflections a bit more.
