Definitely adding this to my favorites. Not much to add to the comments below, except WOW! It's modern and ancient at the same time. So well composed and executed.
Spectacular! Am wondering what Delacroix would have said of this. You concocted a magnificent image, a heroic story and gave it the perfect title! Top!
#133 of 299 and it was my top choice which in the end tells ME where I stand (especially since I think I am incapable to do such a marvel with a camera). It goes directly to my favorites. Thank you .
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: The blur is wonderful and prominent but it is the painting-like colours that grabs me here. Those colours and the light imbue the image with an Old Master / hanging in a public gallery feel. That suggestion carries over into the scene it self with my brain telling me the building behind is a gallery. The amount of detail you have preserved in many of the figures is just perfect, as is the degree of blur elsewhere.
Critical stuff: Nothing.
Overall: Wonderfully made. The overall effect hits a number of sweet spots.
The blur in this image is very pleasing to me. I see the activity and society without being distracted by the individuals. I like the colors and light too.
This proves the old adage "It's better to be lucky than good." Of course, you had to also Be There, ready. I can't tell you how much I admire the Renaissance light in this, the combination of earth colors & primary colors, the feeling of suspended Action. It's mesmerizing!
I think a blurry crowd is cool, it makes it feel like they're milling about and doing what crowds do. I think a blurry environment goes a little too far, makes it feel accidental instead of intentional. Overall interesting shot though.
Most unusual entry for a FS. Interesting light and positioning of groups. Pillars add stability to an otherwise motive image. Hope you're not getting caned.
Spectacular! Am wondering what Delacroix would have said of this. You concocted a magnificent image, a heroic story and gave it the perfect title! Top!
