I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: The bold coloration stands out and makes it clear that you've exercised choices with your image; it shouts "nothing accidental here". I love the red shoes (the overall hue makes my brain compensate to red from pink) and I like how deliberative the steps feel; it conveys the gait of a robot somehow with big swings from the hips. The degree of blur is charming - the waviness gives an organic overlay that I like.
Critical stuff: I think this borders on the over-contrived: I like contrived; I liken it to crafting but it's a fine line between artistic intent realised and playing to an anticipated audience. I don't think you've crossed it but I think you are close.
Overall: A highly pretty image. |
