This is a fantastic image... was one of the best of the challenge. Love the way you have isolated the subject, would have been nice if you could have used a longer shutter to get more blur on the other people - but chances are if'd you'd tried that the woman with the phone would have moved :).
Motion blur adds an interesting dimension to this photograph in that it so effectively isolates the main subject. To me, it conveys the absorbance of focus to the conversation on the phone and the obliviousness to one's surroundings oftentimes when engaged on the cell phone. Nice job in a photograph that effectively meets the challenge.
wonderful sense of dislocation in the midst of chaos. Pity the man in the parka, top dead center, isn't showing motion blur liek those aroudn him. Image is marred by excessive use of USM on foreground figure: see haloing, especially on hat.
I simply love your shot !
The technique is wonderful, I love the fact that your subject is still anonymous. It gives the picture a very dynamic feeling. Just like a part of a movie!
Amazing and my favorite! 10
