Really like this shot - the only weakness in it for me is that wretched lamp post right in the middle of the picture !

Otherwise love the concept and execution .

Certainly beats the static same ol' same ol' in my book. Ribbon worthy. I wish people would open their eyes more.

Nice work, one of my top 5 picks for this challenge...

The only thing I don't like about this is the very dark right corner, I think this would've been fine without the vignette. Otherwise, I love the image; full of life and motion, imaginative and attractive.

I like that the person holding the heart is wearing black to blend in the background. the action blur of the city really makes this image! One of my favorites, it should be a ribboner.

I like the movement, creative.

Good idea... nice to see a bit of effort in the challenge. This idea could have been even stronger with a better composition though (IMO) also a slower shutter if possible.... makes me want to go and try something similar...

This must have been fun to photograph with all the jaffas wondering why someone is standing in the middle of an intersction holding up a big heart.

I really like the feel and tone of this, it's one of my favorites for this challenge. My only thought might be that the people in front of and to the right of the person with the heart are moving a little too much and are too numerous, making it a little too busy. Just my opinion though, and I really like the photo a lot.

would have loved it without the heart 8

I do like quirky long-exposures! Interesting!

Great photo.

I like they message it conveys. The people walking around add motion to the photo, giving the photo a "I will always be here for you" feeling. I could stare at this photo for hours... it really tells a story for me.

Great composition. The left side of the photo feels all a little darker than the right and it gives the photo a slight uneven feeling. The unevenness probably comes from the person to the right wearing liter clothing than those people on the left.

I also like the use of the desaturated colors except for the hart. I can really tell because of the stop light and the street sign because they aren't distracting

I really love the movement of this and the energy. Very creative.

I really really like this picture, everyone walking by, almost without noticing a man standing with a giant heart. You did great here. The tones/colors are amazing. 9

I really like this - it's just my style.

Very Cool how long was your shutter speed on this? I love how clear you are yet everyone else is just "rushing" past.

What a fantastic idea... well taken, too. Lovely image. That spot of red! 8

great processing. Looks like someone walked out in front of you and spent a few seconds admiring your artwork????
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2008 02:21:47 PM
Taking a chance! Cute idea and i get the meaning....the image strike me as a little dark and perhaps too flat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2008 02:14:15 PM
nice use of motion blur to emphasize the world in motion
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2008 01:16:14 PM
I wish the sides weren't so dark.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2008 01:07:15 PM
Great looking picture but the lamp post through the name in the background drops a point, solid 7 though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2008 04:54:52 AM
brillant idea! the vignetting is too much for my taste
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2008 01:55:40 AM
Interesting shot with lots of detail. I really like it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2008 01:49:29 AM
hey, thats Auckland!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I do like the idea and the overall outcome of the shot, but I think your vignette is a bit too tight or the image is too dark as a whole.

I can see how your artistic intent might be to have the strong darkness, but coupled with the muted colors it would be easy to pass this image over without noticing it.

I wonder if you could have cloned out that pole running through your "I".
