Wow. Another really beautiful image from your eyes. I like everything about it except the title. Stalker, to me, means something akin to hunter or chaser, and the girl in this image doesn't look like a stalker to me. But I'm nitpicking - because the image is so beautiful :)

Indeed a haunting image with that subtle soft look. Perhaps one of the most original images in this challenge and greatly overlooked.

You got a big 10 plus from me, one of my fav's!

Man, you shouldn't have had a score attached to this, its just too good to be rated!

Often post-challenge commentators will note with astonishment the handful of voters who scored an image as a 1 or 2. But in the case of this adventurous work, a number of such scores has to be inevitable; and if they truly hated it, well OK, they've got to go low. But what I can't understand here is the great mass of voters scoring it in the 4 to 6 range. Almost 60% of all votes! How so many people can simply be indifferent to this image is beyond belief. You must either love this, or you loathe it ... anything in between is just intellectual sloth.

I could have sworn I had this thing in my favs already. I was unhappy to see this placement.

Seems like we need an impressionism challenge where blur is in. Nice shot overall, great effect and contributions of color.

You were robbed by those that don't understand the art of photography

too blurry, like you were walking while you took the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Probably my favourite in the whole challenge because it's so different. It looks more like a painting than a photo, with just rough strokes thrown around to give the impression of the scene rather than any strong defined shapes. Other than that I can't say why I like it so much, and it's better left that way. You've certainly managed to produce an interesting piece of art from something I would never have even pointed my camera at.

Unusual and evocative. Bumping up one.

I liked this very much when I first saw it during a thread on impressionism and like it still. It conveys absolutely a sense of the moment, a sense of the sound, smell and feel of that wet rain and the motivation of that rushed individual racing along the street. Composition works well. Strong lighting is well used. 8

This pic has really great lines and colors I cant think of a single thing I would change. Not sure why this isnt in my favorites yet since I have already looked at it about ten times. Everytime I am in your portfolio I think I look at it. It has a very fitting title which makes you feel as the viewer to be the stalker with insanity in your brain. You know you got my 10

Can't remember who took this one, but no matter I really like the impressionistic effect here (and I generally don't go for these types of shots so thats saying something). The wet street does wonders for this image. 9.

Another fine piece of art in this challange good job 10

Perfect choice. I think you started a whole new perspective on DPC with this one. But no one can do it like you.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/21/2005 02:04:57 PM
Hmmm. These shots are in the class 'love 'em or hate 'em' I think that they have merit and you have made a good shot here. The sense of movement works well, perhaps a little burnt out in the highlights..
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great stuff, effective use of style, and definitely unique among the other postcard photos!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/18/2005 04:34:43 AM
This is a very disturbing image, and the frenetic technique you have used is perfectly suited to the title. Which came first; the treatment or the title? Either way ... 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2005 07:33:10 PM
blurring
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2005 06:01:29 PM
One of my favorites of this challenge - the effect and the title give it a scary/chilling feel. Good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2005 02:35:33 PM
Good impressionist shot but probably and unfairly won`t score to high.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2005 10:34:20 AM
What energy! The motion blur works so well to convey the moment! Like the way the highlights on her leg blend with the wet pavement and yet detail is there in the rest of the image. It took me awhile to understand your title as the shadow of the stalker doesn't jump out at first--so nice when I finally "get it".

I know this shot very well and would expect it to be a contender for a ribbon.
Good luck

I am pleased to see you runing around here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2005 06:27:06 PM
Maybe a little too much white space, but it's a nifty effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2005 03:15:03 PM
Really superb use of blur for a painterly, urget feel. Yes! 9

I can't begin to describe how well this works for me, or why. Fine image.

very different from most other submissions.. you took a risk, that might hurt you, but I personally really like it

I definately like this one. The reflections are awesome and the smudgy look is perfect.
