Too bad you have to explain to folks that the blur is intentional. I'm gonna give you a 10 here, even though i only like the reflection of the trees in the mirror, just to compensate for the fact that my own pic is getting screwed because of a few intentional features in it.

Cool abstract shot, I've took many a shot like this.

Creative idea. Interesting abstract feel

The evenness of the blurring is nice - it has the appearance (as confirmed by the title) of being intentional. The b/w treatment creates an interesting emphasis on the mirror and the ... guardrails? Interesting work. I'm not crazy about the blurred aesthetics, but you made me stop and think, and I definitely think this is creative.

I think this would be improved if the image in the mirror was more recognizable and in focus.

Intentional low score. It seems to me that the blur should be there fro a reason and in this case, I can't really find it. It would be better if there was something in the frame that was sharp, IMO.

Don't know why, but I like this photo. Must be the rearview mirror. 7

You took a picture while driving? Have you ever heard of keeping your eyes on the road? I'm just wondering! Nice shot though.

interesting look - i like the execution and focus in the sideview.
