Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is a very colorful and dynamic photo. The motion blur in the background, caused by panning, is conventional and conveys a sense of motion. It is nice that the bright lines stop short of the boy's face. The motion blur on the vehicle appears to be caused largely by the perspective change as it moves closer to the camera, and is certainly not typical of panned photos. The overall shape is still apparent yet the blur gives a nice abstract feeling; I think it is effective. The boy's face is surprisingly clear compared to the rest of the picture, but is still blurry. Too clear to make the entire image an abstract, but too blurred (and too close to the edge) to be the center of attention, it keeps the photo from coming together and expressing an interesting message. |
