Okay, now I recall. I liked this an awful lot but wanted a bit less blurring and yes, a less tight crop. You've achieved that and more with the second version. I'm so glad you continued with this idea. I gave this one a five, BTW. Pretty high for me in this challenge. :D

This was one of my only 10's. I'm shocked that it didn't do better. Please make a print available, I'd love this on my wall.

First thoughts on this was is that a wilting dandelion? Then at second glance the bananas become obvious. I think that the slow shutter speed you used to create such blurring was just too much. I would have liked to have seen some movement in it but also been able to clearly make out a banana.

The only reason I don't give this a 1 is because I think I see some bananas. Out of focus and I have no idea what this is a picture of.....2

Mysterious. the blurring works well for the feeling of your image.

When I first saw this I didn't like it much at all...too blurry, blah, blah, blah...but it keeps catching my eye, and I find that every time I look at it again it jumps up a point. The more I look at it I see more of a painting quality to it. good job...

This was a really nice and unique idea for this challenge. I think the blurring is a bit excessive for this shot since there's no real action to accompany it, but it still came out pretty well. Good job!

Positively gorgeous abstract. Looks like an old world painting. 10

Sorry, but this is actually quite an unappealing image. It's a nice idea but the brown under the banana skirt is off-putting.

Very original, and the motion blur seems appropriate. You might try adding either more contrast, or simply beefing up the yellow here. Nice work.

I like it. But I think I'd prefer soft focus to motion blur.

Don't know how many people will know the divine Miss Baker, but you nailed the shot for those of us that know.

A skirt made out of banana peels? Not sure I like the use of blurr. Interesting concept.

Cute pictue but out of focus.

Good idea, but maybe too blurred? Would have like to see in one exposure a frozen image from flash *and* the blur from slow shutter.

I would like something in focus.

Just because it was done intentionally, doesn't make it a picture that I really want to look at.
 05/24/2004 01:07:54 AM
I don't really see this shot, I guess. Some sort of hula skirt, perhaps?
