Last day of voting and my score is shooting up. Was down in the 5.2s most of the week and now in the mid 5.4 range. I am a bit torn on this shot. I certainly like the blur and contrast to my usual style. I personally find this image to be very pleasing to me. This would be from the influence of others at DPC whose work I hold in high regard. Yet, true to my path of past performance, this image is highly "created". There is nothing found or discovered here (I guess except that I found a cool puddle to shoot over). It is still just a timfythetoo creation with just a different set of characteristics. Not exactly sure what to do with all that.

That said I certainly do appreciate the comments. It is rewarding in being able to appeal to not only myself but also a different demographic than I normally do. But then should it be?

my favorite photographer is Man Ray. He created his shots, did not discover them.

misplaced focus??? Nonsense, the focus is spot on and ties the image together. One of my 9's.

Nothing wrong with creating and always good to expand your vision. This was one of my top 4.

Excellent mood - nice use of the Lensbaby (and a well placed puddle) to create that.

Lens baby? Great job on the focus point.

This is definitely unique. Love the torn jeans and loose laces. The blur makes the shot even more eye-catching. The black and white with grain/noise also works for the picture. Good job

Man, I wanted to see his expression more than his feet. 9 minus 2 for the misplaced focus equals 7.

You have really captured emotion and loneliness here - top notch

Awesome shot, love the blur on the face, and the puddle underneath, very impactful.

The title and the motion blur... don't work together to me.

But...
