OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: This is one to stop the viewer in their tracks! I love it - such energy. The stark black background works fantastically well and the blur makes the image.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all.
Overall: Excellent work - confident, minimalist magic.
