what an interesting image. you have certainly captured the essence of the moment. i hope that this image is not getting lost in the shuffle of this super-sized challenge, and that it is getting the attention it deserves. as i have nothing further to offer, i'm just going to sit back and let this soak in for a bit. thanks for sharing. good luck with this and all the challenges yet to come!
I like the composition, however not the motion blur (which I am assuming is desired by the extent of it). If it is , I don't understand as the image would have been much more effective in focus.
I like the idea here, but the blur isn't quite working for me - I'd like for at least some part (however small) of this shot to be in focus - it's not quite blurred enough to be impressionistic, which leaves you kind of stuck in the middle - I'd like some focal point for my eyes to rest on. Its a nice subject and well composed though.
