Greetings from the Critique Club, Mario :-)

Initial impact: I didn't understand the title, but now that I read the other comments I get it. Clever :-) But I don't think it's hard to recognise the objects in motion as bottles, when nto understanding the title.

Composition: Very good. I like the angle and the diagonal lines from the perspective.

Focus: The contrast between motion and stillness is great. I like how the bottles are rushing by. I think a panning shot wouldn't have worked that well.
The grain is ok. Actually I like it on this photo.

Lighting/Colours: The colours are nice. The green of the bottles vs. the brown of the machinery emphasises the contrast between motion and stillness even more.
I think it would look better without the red part of the bottles but it's not distracting. But the glare in the upper left part of the photo is.

Art: I like this photo. It conveys the motion topic very well. It's also a nice industry theme photo.

Moosehead shot. Nice contrast on bottles in motion and machine in focus.

The picture is pleasing to the eye, but I really want to know what it is. I may be just a city boy, but I don't see a moose here.

Very nice capture - enough motion to see it, but not so much that the beer bottles are unrecognizable.

Ah man, you're going to lose a lot of people here because of the title. However, you'll get alot of us Canadians drooling. Execellent shot. I love the mix of stationary and motion blur. Cheers. Jacko 9

Took me a minute to get this one. Then I read the title and was more confused. then I figured it out. Not bad, but overall not great either.

great shot of moving train..composition is good as are the colors
12/09/2002 02:49:34 PM
Moosehead???? Where are you?
12/09/2002 01:06:22 PM
Took me a while to understand what I was seeing, but this is pretty cool. It might have been good to have something else in the shot as a reference to the beer bottles so it was more obvious what was happening. I'm betting some folks won't recognize these as bottles.

I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE SUBJECT IS

I'd be willing to bet most people dont get this. That's Moosehead beer right? Yum. The only beer... Canadian beer :) Might improve the shot a bit if you cropped out the bottom part and focused on the motion. 9
