Last day of voting and my score is shooting up. Was down in the 5.2s most of the week and now in the mid 5.4 range. I am a bit torn on this shot. I certainly like the blur and contrast to my usual style. I personally find this image to be very pleasing to me. This would be from the influence of others at DPC whose work I hold in high regard. Yet, true to my path of past performance, this image is highly "created". There is nothing found or discovered here (I guess except that I found a cool puddle to shoot over). It is still just a timfythetoo creation with just a different set of characteristics. Not exactly sure what to do with all that.
That said I certainly do appreciate the comments. It is rewarding in being able to appeal to not only myself but also a different demographic than I normally do. But then should it be?

This is definitely unique. Love the torn jeans and loose laces. The blur makes the shot even more eye-catching. The black and white with grain/noise also works for the picture. Good job
