Some pics above will show the sculpture that was used in the pic. The structure is illuminated from the inside via neon tubes.

The technique was simply: Camera was set to 5 secs, f 7.1 at ISO 200. During exposure the camera was moved over the 5 seconds from the right to the lower left in a wobbling fashion, sort of in a sinus wave. In the last fraction of the time before the shutter closed, the camera was held still to achieve a longer imprint of the sculpture.

I liked how the motion created a 3D effect of the face towards the left.
Minimal post processing followed in digital darkroom. I think it was mostly around increasing the saturation.

I took this pic while I was in Berlin on my Europe vacation.

One of my favourite top three shots. I like the juxtaposition of old vs new, I like the foreground framing by the branches. I gave it a 8 but maybe I should have given it the 9 or 10 and not let the horizon bother me in a narrow minded fashion.

Almost perfect shot with 8 points from me. I wish the top of the flag pole in the reflection was not cut off at the bottom edge.

I think the light and the lines is what does it for me in this shot. One of my few 9 point scores.
