An outstanding image with energy and movement. What I like about this image is that it has achieved a nice balance between abstraction and reality. The composition has worked perfectly with the diagonal of the crowd spreading away from the light areas. The figures are close and crowded together giving movement and energy. The camera setting is perfect for this style of image and you have captured a remarkable moment. Congratulations on being my number one selection
A well taken shot of a moving train and a stationary traveller. I like the juxtapostion of these contrasting elements and the movement of the fine hair giving that whoosh feeling created by displaced air movement. The blurry figures and billboards in the flying train windows give extra interest to the image. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

A interesting variation on the normal looking down a passage. The light forms a nice circular vortex with the shadows completing the circular composition. The viewer is drawn down into the centre hurrying along to catch that flight. The figures give a sense of movement within a confined space. Congratulations on making my top ten selection.
A great energetic and dynamic image. Your choice of camera settings have captured the movement and drama of the event. The color of the riders against the soft green background adds great contrast. The positioning of the riders and the white lances forming a zig zag movement across the frame makes a great composition. I congratulate you on looking to make a different image from the standard capture. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

A rainy night shot full of atmosphere. The dark figures in winter clothing contrasting with the bright lights and wet sidewalk. The camera is well positioned for this shot, hard against the wall with the road disappearing behind the two main figures. The shutter speed of one half second creating just enough movement with the cars and pedestrians. A worthy top ten selection. Well done.

Some wonderful abstract and semi abstract images can be created by intentionally creating blur in an image. Intentional camera movement (ICM), or use of a slow shutter speed on a moving object, or zoom burst during an exposure, are all methods of creating an artistic one-off image. In-camera effects will be favoured over post production effects, and new work is appreciated. I look forward to seeing your creations.
