For me this challenge was about catching images that are not staged or contrived. By closing your eyes you catch a natural moment. Motion blur, soft focus, grain, and other technics are fine but not required. I just set my camera to auto mode, found something interesting, closed my eyes, and clicked a few shots. This process was repeated as I walked around the city. Out of 100 tries 3 or 4 were pretty decent shots. It was a tough decision but I chose this one based on the unusual POV and composition. Because advanced editing is allowed I tried to get the most out of my shot. I think this would have been a more interesting challenge with no editing and straight from the camera. Maybe next time.

I was making changes at the last minute and entered the wrong file. For some reason there is a little color in this image.

This was in my top three. Congrats on another blue hand. I have to say that I have been admiring much of your work recently, and the more I study it the more I come to envy your eye.
