Peace alive & vibrant - not at all a contradiction.

Too much blur for this to really work, look like an interesting subject though.
 02/25/2008 06:05:46 PM
Im wondering where you were going with this one?
 02/25/2008 03:24:04 PM
It feels a bit too active to convey much peace
 02/25/2008 11:13:29 AM
i think this shot could be improved a bit if it was in focus, nice colours

This whole thing is way too blurry, it is hard for me to see what you were focusing on. I would also shot at a different time of day, it looks like you shot at night and your shutter speed was too slow.
 02/25/2008 10:23:16 AM
the picture is too blurry, it makes the photo confusing
 02/25/2008 09:49:01 AM
The red and yellow lamps contrast and balance the dark bottom of the photo. This would be a strong photo if there was a focus to the panning.

focus???
 02/23/2008 04:25:38 PM
just a little too much blur for me, but I like the colors
 02/22/2008 03:55:48 PM
This really appeals to me. Normally the style of photography you have opted to utilise would suggest chaos and mayhem, and yet you have produced a photograph that really suggest peace and calmness. The softness of the movement combined with the beautiful expression of the woman really does engender a sense of peace when I view the photo.

Wordy and not very articulate - perhaps I should just say "I like this!"

i dont no if u tryed to make if out of focus or it was just a bad pic
 02/22/2008 11:23:54 AM
i would have liked to see it in focus
 02/22/2008 11:06:57 AM
I don't really see the peace in this photo, i get it is supposed to be in motion but lamps being peaceful? I don't get it.
 02/21/2008 09:40:40 PM
I like the feel of this. Do those lamps really symbolize peace in your culture?
 02/21/2008 04:30:51 PM
Everything is a blur
 02/21/2008 09:53:44 AM
Perhaps it's cultural and I don't understand... but this says "commotion" to me... not "Peace" ... Especially since the lamps are in motion, not at rest.
 02/21/2008 09:31:32 AM
Pretty out of focus.
 02/20/2008 10:22:51 PM
Maybe more of the lamps and no blurry people? I like the colors of the lamps.
 02/20/2008 05:06:25 PM
Blurry.
 02/20/2008 12:40:19 PM
But all the bright colors and movement have so much energy?
 02/20/2008 09:57:13 AM
There doesn't seem to be a clear focal point.
 02/20/2008 12:32:16 AM
i actually like the way this is shot! if it was just a straight on, non blurry photo of a lamp, it would be a bit boring.
this makes it much more interesting!
