Came up with the idea of a blurred drunken mess picture at the beginning of the week, and then shot this using my wife as a model.
I used ISO 1600 because I felt grain would help the image. Still used a slow shutter to crank the camera a bit while I shot. Now that its done, I've reread the challenge, and I hope that voters consider it blurry enough!
Great use of the Blurred Mess license!!! And one of the best in this challenge IMO. You could caption this "Blurry Mess" and it works. Very nice!
My criteria for scoring these is with an objective, open mind to a criteria/theme with many subjective terms. I can see you took a more literal approach, and see no broach of challenge criteria as per the wording used. Since it has the appearance of disorganized and chaotic, and messy subject matter, who am I to say this isn't a fine entry?
I know that the challenge theme is implied to to encourage a less compositional approach, but I would say it allows for more creative license due to it's completely subjective wording. I really like this capture.
I didn't want to see simple abstracts in this challenge - I wanted to see different and original ideas as to what could express "blurry mess" on the whole, and you accomplished that here.
lol. The toilet becomes your best friend in situations like this. Cold, still and happy to be pucked on.
I'm sure you are getting "not enough blur" comments. I think you captured the mood well and this couldn't have been done with the normal requirements for a "clean" image.
