oh my - that is a very striking use of motion blur - some of the best I've seen on this site. I can't think of a single critique here, and would have given this a 10 easily.
This beautiful image should of placed higher in this challenge. This image conveys this sense of wonder and hope. The figure in the picture seems to be at peace in an environment where anything can happen.
I really like the way you have created an impression of the scene without resorting to post-processing filters. It's clear what the scene is - an individual under a beautiful umbrella walking through a park/ trees. But there are no details to get in the way of interpreting the image however the viewer wants to. The essence of impressionism!
I do find the white outfit quite bright, but I like that. It, and the lovely block of purple, really draw my eye to the main subject. The semi-circular curves of the motion blur on the tree leaves is very cool.
All of those comments are more than deserved Rina! It's wonderful to see you stepping out and trying something new, if nothing else you had learnt a little more about what you and your camera can do and thats great! However, you have also shown that PS doesn't always have to be the way to get the effect you are looking for! Beautiful, congrats! :o)
stunning effect. The curve motif is painterly and photographic at the same time. then there is the unexpected sharpness of the umbrella. The photo dances between two dimensions and three.
Gave you a 10 earlier when I voted but just wanted to let you know that I really like this. Hope you'll let me know how you did it after the challenge ends.
Interesting - I can see where you are going with this and encourage you to develop the style. The orange/red crescents on the grass I found to distract from the overall effect, but well done... a brave work.
