These strings of butterflieshang down three stories over the escalators at Neiman Marcus at the Creeks of Willowbend in Plano, Texas. The two subjects are riding the escalator up to the third floor.

CC Fits The Challenge-80%
Composition-Good in a mall. Nice DOF
Background-Okay, the center white strip [and one on the right] is a little distracting but I know you couldn't control that. Still my eye goes right to them.
My Opinion-This shot is very original. It was a good find and you shot it well, no doubt a difficult shot. It's also full of motion, interesting to look at and an appealing subject. I don't really care for the color or the lack of colors. Again I don't think you had any control of many of the elements. It's a good work.
Composition:Nice use of size the full 640 vertically.
Technical: Excellent DOF. The very close petal (?) on the bottom-right detracts slightly.
Overall impression: Very nicely done. 8 (-1 for petal)
This is an original shot. I would prefered to have the butterflies in focus and Waldo out of focus in the background adding to the hiding effect. Great idea though!
Interesting trick. White butterflies on strings (paper butterflies?) The two subjects are well hidden. The amount of foreground blur makes this a little difficult to view (at least my eyes had a hard time focusing). Good color. 7 Swash
