this is the circle of life seen through the eyes of suffering being in the universe and we see at this point how small we really are in comparison to eternity

I wish that little guy in the background with a passive position wasn't there. He's breaking the strong notion of rhythm all around the composition. Of course only that small part of the photo is affected by this break. Clone out him (and maybe the other guy too) and you have here a perfect and superb image. Any way this is one of the best that I saw in this thread. Wonderful. Congrats!

This looks like a struggle against eternity, perhaps that is where the suffering comes from.

The blur looks like camera motion blur, but also the layering of images. In the middle left, we see a rather mundane image. It looks like a man being waited on. But they are caught up in the vortex of the Man With The Blue Shirt.

I would say that blur is more than a technique here. Blur is the subject of your photo. Each viewer might come to his/her own interpretation of what the blur signifies, but it cannot be ignored.

The emotional content is complex and subjective. For example, the distortions on the blue man border on grotesque, but the dominating circular patterns are energetic, might steer someone toward positive emotion.

I feel the chaos here, not eternity, but chaos, whirling, bumping, changing, such a strong influence on our lives. This should be the trademark image for chaos theory.

I think the guy sitting down has a gambling addiction and amongst all of the turmoil he has lost everyone that ever meant anything to him.

Looked to me like a person in the eye of a hurricane or tornado (of life).

It's not my explanation; it's my agent's. Glad you like the photo without the arty write-up. :)

Hear you on that brother!
The eternity is coming to eat us up and before we know it
It has us in it burning flames and we are doomed for eternity
Sad but true...

I don't know about your explanation but I do know I love this image. That effect you have used is kind to my eyes, no feeling of astigmatism or vertigo just clean circular swirls of color, and such wonderful color. Nice work!
