Interesting shot. The top part of the image is distracting. Maybe a different crop would help.

Typically these blurred scenes work best when the the figure is sharp and background blurred, or vice versa. So this has a different, abstract sort of feel to it. I like it.

Just my opinion but I think the top portion of this photo should have been cropped out

flippin sweet! personally, i would have cropped it just a bit more than square from the bottom up; i think the top 40% really distracts from an incredible graphic image.

Personally, i'm not a fan of the "everything blurred" look, the background blur is great but it would have been nice to have the person sharp. Love the colours.
