I really like this shot. The setting is great, the motion is great. The embrace is still very evident. I don't even mind the tilt in the photo. But I have to ask ... why oh why didn'tyou set up th shot away from the metal object/man hole cover. That thing is so distracting for me that it was the first thing I saw and continues to be the thing that draws my attention away from the couple.
Pretty cool shot, I both love and hate the motion blur. I definately think there should be some, but it´s that their faces are so blurred that I hate. If you somehow had been able to freeze the faces more and had some more motion elsewhere, like on the legs like they were dancing it would really have hit the spot with me but I like this and the thought behind it. Gave it a 7.
Looks like you were trying for an interesting effect, but it didn't work in my humble opinion. The beautiful setting is sharp with good DOF, but the main subject is too blurred for detail, and the camera tilt doesn't help.
This picture is beautiful! With or even without motion blur. The blur did add some action to the shot but it would have been perfect without it as well.
Love the setting - wish I could find such an environment to shoot in. The sense of movement is also effective. So, I'm not sure what is missing. Perhaps the walls need to be sharper to contrast the movement of the dancing.
