Strangely appropriate for the final free study of the year. It may be seen as hopeful or despondent, depending on how you feel at the moment. Or, probably for most, it is just a blurry mess. The score will suck appropriately.
After: 4 favs during voting, a Sterling Sturgeon, and 38 votes below 5. Doesn't get much better than that!

add an "unconventional eye" to the list. pleasantly mysterious, as you said, i don't know if it makes me feel hopeful or despondent. it definitely evokes emotion though, big win.
had to come and see which entry was yours after hesring you had 4 favs going. I loved this in voting, i gave you an 8. great artistic view! Really enjoyed the lighting in it. Now you have 5 favs
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: Wow - how Nixtery! Quite marvellous use of blur but what is most striking here is the coloration with its subdued reds and greens. I really enjoy the sense of depth you have communicated here and how the light persists from front to back, even in the darker areas. The of course, there is the figure - or is it two? Though to me, I get a sense of suitcase before child.
