    Richard -
    Love # 1, the colors all work very nicely together, really like the blurred motion.

    # 2 just makes me smile:D

    nice work!

    The colors in #1 are all so ugly as to make for a beautiful photo...

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. I don't know about #2 myself, which is why I posted it. It's sort of a "so what?" shot, yet I kept going back to look at it. I still can't decide. headscratch.gif

    IMO neither work for me.

    #1, way, way, WAAAY too much noise. I like the motion blur but the stationary portions need to be crisp/clear. Maybe I'm missing it, but nothing seems to be in focus at all? In summary: Great idea, composition/subject good.. technically, notsomuch.

    #2 Agree with the consensus.. it's just the back side of a not-so-attractive back side. The crop/composition is not good at all. Overall, nothing interesting in the shot.


    Sorry to be harsh, and I'm sure some will disagree, but that's my opinion.

    Buenos Dias Richard :)

    #2 for me, but I'm biased with B&W.

    #1 Has a lot of noticeable colour noise and for me at least, it distracts from the subject in the shot.

    Street photography is hard to 'get right' though, try taking a different angle or approach and seeing the world from a different perspective. :ivar

    Thanks for the comments, PLV and ABCL. You are quite right that #1 is noisy and blurry. It was a grab--no time to fiddle with camera settings. My technique isn't good enough to avoid camera blur using a longish lens at 1/20 sec. lol3.gif But I rather liked it anyway, and I didn't do any noise reduction--or much of anything else--in post.

    #1: Uninteresting subject matter and not in focus.

    #2: Maybe a tight crop might work here: woman's hip downwards and cropped on both sides. Cheers.

    Thanks for the suggestion, sabesh, but I think maybe I'll just forget about this one. lol3.gif
