Wow, just stumbled accross this. This is a wonderfully creative shot.

Well done. Now as soon as I get a camera on which I can set the shutter speed I will shamelessly appropriate the hand-motion blur technique :P.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This photo tells a definite story. The motion blur is perfect and "makes" the picture. Good lighting, and effective composition. A couple of minor distractions: the blurred/smeared sugar on his right side and the line (oven door?) in the background. But overall very creative and well done.

LOL,

Thanks for the comments guys. I had some fun on this one. My wife thought I was crazy, crouching in front of my oven with a black sock up one arm 'animating' a cookie for the camera!!!

A cute and yummy-looking gingerbread man, but I find the composition kind of busy and the rusty-looking metal bar a distraction.

Very cleverly done indeed with the powder. The whole thing then works well as a balanced composition. Great stuff.
