Stood around in the pedestrian district in Wiesbaden looking for neat lights/colors. This is in front of a bakery. Had a blast shooting shots like this. I do realize that most will be looking for nice, clean, sharp "subjects", but I really quite like this just the way it is.
Rotated a bit and cropped; brightness/contrast, saturation, touch of curves, resize and add border.

WOW!!! Deb just noticed this...how very very cool!! I love this!! you are SO talented! What amazing colors and the composition is too cool!! What an amazing capture!!! This ROCKS!!!!
This is good, even though nothing is in focus. The background really makes this shot. The streaks of colors/lights convey a sense of motion, hustle/bustle and life (and are just plain nice to look at!) I also enjoy taking photos like this. It's fun.
I really like this. You did a fantastic job with this. It's almost unreal in the sense that the main subject is a person that doesn't appear to be traveling as fast as the image lets you believe. I don't know how you did it but great job.
what a cool photo Deb, too bad I haven't seen it earlier, hmmm:/
I love the sihouettes on the background, and the blurred man, and the orange part of the border AND the title is excellent!!! fantastic title, I wish I could come up with something like that, too
:)
I like this one very much and I agree that it's just right the way it is. The slight blur of the silhouetted subject adds to the image IMO. I must say though that I was so enjoying the mysterious mood that you conjured up which allowed for a lot of different stories to bounce around in my head, but then I read the title which spelled out for me what had been an intriguing unknown. I think that such a deliciously moody image deserves more than one story. Really do like it though. :)
I like it too -- just like this. The way he's looking away so intently draws you in to whatever must be whisking by him with all those lively pretty colors.
Hmmm. I gave this a 7 in voting as I didn't have a chance to come back and bump any images. I found this intriguing to say the least. The oddness of the title combined with the shadows started telling me a story. The story got a weird about 1/2 way through and never really got finished. I look forward to the next installment...
IMHO, this is a good shot for motion panning, my only thought had the subject been sharper,a definate 7. Just noticed the shutter speed, 0.5 is tough to make sharp.
I looked at this shot the longest I think, I was intrigued by it - wanting to know what you meant by the title and who this man was. Interesting and thought-provoking :)
A dark and forboding character. Great streaks and the color tones offer a mysterious kind of feel. Not quite sure about the title. I realize he is probably looking at a bakery but the mood seems set for something deeper or darker. Though a bakery sounds good right now. Hmmm - I wonder how fast I can get to one. I could go for a cinnamon roll. Bumping up.
I love the abstract quality of this - the colour palette is very pleasing, and I like the way the man is looking away from the camera, presumably at the bakery shop window.
