Like it more the more I look at it - bumping up. Should finish very high.

so pretty, crisp and suits the challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Many things make this a great image, like the lighting, the decorations and the strong curves, as well as the flashes of movement of the skaters.....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/07/2006 09:53:42 PM
Oh Wow! This is VERY striking and beautiful! Easy 10 for me!

Beautiful photo! Love the movement!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/07/2006 11:02:34 AM
Too busy. I do like the blur of motion with some of the skaters while others are in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice job I thought of the same thing 4 weeks ago

Lovely lights and interesting mix of sharp and blurred skaters, nice composition, DOF, and sharpness. Love it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/06/2006 03:22:11 PM
nice slight motion blur and good exposure of the lights
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice colors and movement.. good job singling out the still one..

Toronto ! Nice shot ! (9)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 09:51:32 PM
Fantastic lighting & perfect focus. Skaters are just blurred enough to give feeling of movement. The "floating" lights & buildings make for a great background. One of my favorites.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 09:16:48 PM
Wow this is a nice pretty shot, great work on the speed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 03:26:27 PM
Great colours and I like the bluf effect to show busy movement while the lights and buildings show the stillness.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 03:10:24 PM
Very cool. Nice lights, and I like how it draws your eye to the one guy that is still.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

awesome blur. great capture of the lights. very "city-in-the-winter"-like. 7

Really nice. Love the light and motion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 01:42:09 PM
I like the movement and the nice focus on the ornaments, nice!

This shutter speed doesn't really work for me. I'd prefer either a much longer or much slower exposition (with the proper compensation of course). It's also a bit underexposed for my taste. What I really like is the theme itself.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 12:21:37 AM
Wow, great exposure! Just enough for some motion and business and didn't overexpose the city lights like so many others!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 09:37:20 PM
I like the composition and the sense of motion with the blurred skaters. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 08:58:55 PM
I'm REALLY diggin' the motion blur, and those blue lights...just really nicely seen.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 07:55:25 PM
Wow, simply awesome shot. The ultimate winter city rink shot. Excellent balance and composition. I love the way the lights seem to float. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 06:26:43 PM
Absolutely gorgeous! The deep, rich tones, the colorful lights, the busy composition, the motion everywhere - all scream a beautiful night of city life. Perfect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 06:16:18 PM
Ooohhh! Very nice. I like the super crips exposure of the lights and the mostly blurred skaters. this is very magical looking. I really like it.

WOW! I love how you've captured the action without blowing out your highlights (no pun intended).
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love this. To me, being from the South, this typifies winter in NYC. Lovely image and the blue tree really adds to it. Love the movement and the nice perspective!! 9
