Very "Blair Witch Project". Wild effect.

Draws you there. Nice exposure.

Whoa, this is spooky, I feel like I'm in the mind of a wolf or something.

This one is gaining favor with me big-time. I doubt it's scoring well for you, which is a pity, because there's so much to love here. I'm guessing lensbaby, which is a real plus courage-wise :-) I love the intricate interleaving of sharp/soft/sharp/soft in this sweeping, emotive image. Bumping to 8.

Nice surreal effect. Like a time warp or something or a doorway to a separate reality.
Post actions
I like the mood that this shot creates! Wonderful!
Post actions
I like the foreground blur. It looks like you're in a car driving by this scene rather than going through the gate. At the speed this looks like a good catch and a split second decision.

not to keen on the movement blur makes the image look OOF rather than what you were trying to achieve well done for trying something differnt tho
Post actions
great motion blur, very effective, nice light and comp. 8
Post actions
hm... if the gate was sharp... I gave much better rate its just three now.. I think its incorrectly zoomed...
Post actions
great warping. Keep playing- maybe sepia- high contrast. etc :)
Post actions
personally i love this. it looks like a fairytale or dream... it reminds me of the book bridge to teribethia (sp?) but anyways... nice job :)

Normally, this would get a negative comment for having nothing in focus. But you've capture a hurried feel here. Not sure whether the gate is a good idea or bad, but the house hidden in the right edge doesn't look all that hospitable. To me, it does convey a sense of urgency to get through the stone gate.

i so like this blur effect, but i think its taking away more then its adding to the photo. perhaps if the gate was still clear, and the blur was coming form it it would feel different to me
Post actions
Nicely done. Looks as if there's a strong wind going through the gate.
Post actions
An extra point for trying something different - good luck
Post actions
these type of shots always make me a little seasick.

This could make you dizzy! Very interesting.

Interesting use of motion blur.
Post actions
makes me feel strange......
Post actions
very surreal feel to the image. 6

Wonderful sense of motion leading to the door!

Oh wow that is some serious movement, good timing.
Post actions
Interesting use of lens blur (assuming that is what you did). I would have preferred a stronger focus on the gate however.
Post actions
This is a brilliant idea, and I'm sure it took a lot of work to get the zoom blur that close to the gate, but if the zoom were just a little more centered at the gate, then maybe this image would have a stronger impact. My eyes sort of wander around, and I think, with this concept, you want the viewer's attention to be directed to the gate.
Post actions
interesting use of the blur, i feel a bit dizzy

I think this would do better in b&w... fun idea though
Post actions
Rather disorienting. I wish the gate were a little more interesting.
Post actions
Dizzy! Not sure if it's all the voting or the pic. Good shot.
Post actions
This makes me dizzy - lol!
Post actions
I like the feel of motion here. I wish the gate itself was a little more stationary in feel. It feels like it's moving as well.
Post actions
yay for motion blur! Just because you submitted this, I give you a 8! Love motion blur because it always stands out among a sea of very similar "pretty pictures." Nice capture, would have liked a little more shadow detail however in post processing.
Post actions
To be honest, I don't care for the motion blur here. Having said that, I do like the composition and the sharp focus on the gate. And I must admit the motion does send my eye to exactly that point in the photo.
Post actions
whow, nice way to use the lensbaby
Post actions
Interesting shot, very dynamic.

Perhaps the Blair witch passes thru here? Good out of the box movement and composition.
Post actions
no offense...but I don't like the forward movement in your shot...I would although like to see what the gate and house look like
Post actions
Someone stop the camera I want to see the gate! hahaha. Really dont like the motion blur on this one. I do like the subject tho.
Post actions
motion works very well here. i really like this
Post actions
Great sense of movement! Very well done! 9
Post actions
I'm almost dizzy looking at this. Definite feeling of motion. Clever. I like it. *falls off chair*
Post actions
Lots of motion and very unsettling.
Post actions
Surprisingly I like this, good use of the motion blur.
Post actions
I can almost see the ghosts passing through!
Post actions
Definitely makes me think of some type of horror movie scene. Although maybe it's a bit too bright for that.
Post actions
I am going to puke if I look at this one again....
Post actions
This feels like a shot from a scary movie. nicely done
Post actions
Feels very medieval - like it could be a Black Sabbath album cover
