This was taken at Pepsico sculpture gardens. I was jst messing around taking random shots of people (unsuspecting candids) and I was with Tranquil. He had just taken a zoom burst of me so i tried the same, and i was quite pleased with hw it came out. I had no intention of taking that kind of shot, but I like the resulting image.

Is he pleased with his photo he just took? hard to tell that is the mood you are portraying when the camera is barley visible and the effects are so prominant

A sudden zoom at 1/30th?

How can you say chimping? Be interestint to see how many people requested DQ on this... I assume it's zoom blur?

The blown-out white jacket/top and sky dectract from an otherwise interesting idea..

He's CHIMPING i like the effect of the longer exposure and zooming , but i would have included more of the subject and less of the sky. 7

Hmm... Not so sure if the zoom blur is effective here. But it was a try

That focusing effect is cool but it disturbs my eyes..

The radial blur is very distracting and does noot seem to work for your subject. However, the expression on his face fits the title well, and we all know what that is like to get a great shot!

Not sure what mood you're trying to create here. Wonky horizon doesn't work. Looks too much like a snapshot with a zoom blur added in PS.

That effect is making me dizzy! :-)

OI! Vertigo. Whites are a tad bright. 8

i do not like the blur here, it interferes with the subject and is slightly off putting, but brave idea all the same

nice experimental shot. works well, particularly the sharp enough focus on the eyes. a little more sharpness and imho it would rate higher. 8

LOL, I like it. The "special effects" are distracting though.
