I think black and white was a very good choice for this picture.

Nice harmony all along in this one, though I dont usually like motion lines from walking people, the stable and well thought background offsets it and makes the idea viable.

The motion blur gives me the impression of hectic city street, contrasting the reletive serenity of the cafe. The whites are just a little blown for my taste.

Interesting but I find the figures esp. the closest one a bit too blurry and the perspective is kind of close

Great contrast on this one. The most clear part is the building door in the background, but I think the subject fails me. Because of the out of focus people, which is where my eye naturally goes first, the composition seems reversed. Perhaps a better way to do it would have been to pan on one particular person, blurring everything around him? Don't know, but I did an experiment where I panned my hand with the camera to blur out the background, and it really came out good. Try it yourself. You'ld be surprised how detailed you can get when moving your camera at the same rate of speed as the subject.

Very nice. I really like this shot personaly! the slightly laged shutter makes a wonderful effect along with the architectural detail! i expect you'll get a high position in this challenge!

I like it. Nice contrast between the pillars and wall. The motion blur gives a feeling of movement and makes the image feel dynamic.

Nice motion blur - I feel like it might lend a lot to this photo if one of the people were still and in focus.

Nice shot - the building is very crisp so well done on the long exposure.

Love the blur! I attempted something similar with daytime traffic but didn't have my tripod.

I like the way you've showed life in the city- still background and blurred pedestrians in motion.nice
good luck
