Challenge:Blurry Mess (Basic Editing) Camera:Sony DSLR-A700 Location: San Diego Date: Mar 8, 2008 Aperture: 5.6 ISO: 800 Shutter: 1/40 Date Uploaded: Mar 8, 2008
I was at sunset cliffs tonight at sunset when I saw this surfer comming in... The light was too low to take a good shot, but I guess it will fit the challenge. This pic has been cropped,and saved for the web.

if there was something more going on here, like he is falling or doing a trick the blurriness might add well but it seems to me just like a shot of a surfer that is out of focus and not at all chaotic or disorganized.
Slightly impressionistic. Blurry. Hard to judge because the blur leaves a lower contract factor, but would like to see that contrast in this image. Feels like I just surfaced and have water on my face/eyes and here comes some guy about to run me down. Achieves a sense of motion, but the flat lighting fails wow me.

A longer shutter speed would introduce even more movement into the image and help it look deliberate, rather than a shaky accident. Also if you could crop it so there is more empty space on the left to give the illusion that that is the direction the surfer is going in. Otherwise a very good attempt at meeting the challenge
