I think this was an interesting idea and setting. I wish I could have found a bigger crowd.

I am very happy with how this finished. I was lucky to find this interesting hallway leading to the South Shore train station while searching for a crowd I could insert myself into.
I just noticed I have three each of 1st through 5th place finishes.

Congrats on the ribbon! It looks to me like you're watching the ghost of a really big chicken! I clearly see the beak and eye, but I might be a little nuts. LOL!
Love it. I had the same idea, but this much is better executed. I like your choice to look off camera. Love the detail in the ceiling, the sangles and curves and how it contrasts with the blur of the passers by.
Crowd sized didn't seem to matter. At times I had tons of folks. They got out of the way and created a path around me. If I moved the camera back and the crowd was large, you couldn't see me.
Definitely one of the better images in the bunch. The processing is very strong. My only nit is the blurred person walking on the left is a bit overpowering. Kinda of pulls my eye away. Wish it was a bit more subdued like the ones on the right. But, otherwise this is my pics to ribbon.
Traveling can do this... sometimes you just need to stop and gather momentum again. You've got a nice collection of interesting blurs and lines here. Wonderful
