All mood, yes. What is startling and revelatory to me is that I need to look at it from further away, and this brings everything into question. Like reinventing impressionism.
ETA: And what if you did make a big print - it might be awesome.
Yes, you did the right thing to crop this! Of course you probably knew it would tank with voters anyhow, but I'm glad you entered it anyway. Something nostalgic about the woman in red and the blur/grain.
Don't worry about the score - this is an excellent example of blurring photography and fine art. The tones all work together to convey an emotion. This reaches deeper than even conscious emotion, and tugs at the subconscious mind.
Amazing that a simple glimpse of red always brings to mind 'Don't Look Now'. I like the graininess of this, the sense of a glimpse and then a missingness; like catching something out of the corner of your eye, and when you turn, it's gone.
I love this picture! I used to only like "in-focus" pictures, but lately I have greatly enjoyed the artistic pictures being posted by DPC'ers. I am really starting to vote on the artistic feel for pictures and I think this one is great! 10
