My new cokin filter system came in handy for this shot at the new Christchurch Art Gallery on this warm Canterbury afternoon.
1/3 sec exposure was achieved by stacking a ND4 and Graduated ND2 filter with an ordinary cir-polarizing filter. This is my first real attempt at long exposures in broad daylight.
Last minute entry in the Lines Challenge, I hope it is well received.

The composition is just brilliant in this one! There are those pics that you see and skip over - sure it's nice but kind of lacking in places, this is the kind of photo that draws you in and makes you look at it for a long time. Very good.
Oh, bu this is wonderfully composed, and a marvellous approach to the challenge. It's complex, graceful, and shows real mastery of the graphic elements of composition. The figures are placed perfectly for the balance of the shot .. but I really wonder about the motion blur ... such a minor complaint though. Excellent.
I’m sorry but this image does not work for me. It looks to be a good location for this challenge, but the camera location doesn’t show a choherant image. The lighting has caused some over/under exposed areas, early/later in the day may have worked better.
