I like this photo because it grabs me in a couple of different ways.

At first glance it's moody and very graphic but upon realizing the little fish eyes in the midst of the motion blur, it takes on a whimsical nature. The fish look like eels with their motion blur extensions.

One thing I would like to see is more action at the top 2/3 of the frame and a concentration of fish eyes off center. I say this because although this photo has a lot of great movement, it is a bit static because the focus is at the bottom third of the frame and is front and center.

Thumbs up for creativity and going outside the norm.

Keep taking great shots!

All the best,

This is striking shot. While it may lack technically, I like the overall artistic feel of it. -danny

Oh this is cool - even in black and white! I'm sure many will find fault of some sort but I'm giving it a 9.

weird, and draws the viewer into staying a few moments longer than wanted. the eyes sure do captivate. hopefully, next week's challenge is not eyes, because this would have kicked some ribbon a@# for that one.

It took me a while to figure the sense in this shot and am now chuckling at the sheer creativity embodied in this photo. I wonder whether color would have strengthened the image but I'm not sure. This is fresh, funny, quirky and thoughful. I hope you do very well on those points alone. Good luck.
