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: Despite the excellent pigeon, it's the background I find most interesting - it's so very cornery! and with the subliminal suggestion of a face peering through the blur. The slight coloration works really well and the movement blur adds an uncommon thick softness to the image - like a visual muffle.
Critical stuff: Some additional grain may have contributed to the mood.
Overall: If you are going to make a blurry pigeon - this is the way to do it.
Maybe not appealing to the masses, but I voted this a 9. Love the movement and motion. I am also very happy you did not process this in B&W. I think the color makes this very special. Congrats.
The title adds to this image. Well done. Gives me a sense of serenity and hope. Not sure if that were your intentions....but that is how I translated the image. 7
I don't normally like this style, but I like this photo, how it suggests the bird without showing its details. Love the tinge of orange that is just enough to tell me they are feet.
Sorry but I just don´t like abstract work, it doesn´t appeal to me at all and all I see is a blurry pidgeon. I mean no disrespect but rather wanted to explain why I gave this a 3 so at least you know it´s just my personal taste.
