| DMTC (Does Meet This Challenge) I also like the busy and active look for this image. Good grab. Good for you for putting it in the "Urban' challenge. |

| Love it! The color and intensity of city life is perfect, it only needs the smells. Cool title to. |

You do have such equipment! :) The D50 has rear curtain sync mode. You know where you press the button to pop the flash? While hold that button down and twist the dial where you change settings in the top right on the back of the camera. If you look at your LCD screen you should see the little box where the flash is change to rear eventually, that is the mode ann is talking about. :) Check your manual for more explanation.

From my perspective, (feel free to ignore me) the biggest thing that could be improved is the exposure balance. The taxis are pretty well exposed, but signs on the left are all completely blown out. If it were me....(again, it's yours, not mine), I think I would try to keep the long exposure, but drop the ISO down a couple of stops, and use rear curtain flash to light the taxis. That would make the taxis sharp (sort of), and drop the exposure on the lights, without killing the cool movement effects. |

When I saw this in the challenge, I immediately liked it for the vision the photographer had for urban landscape and a feel for the city (gave it an 8 for what that's worth). Helter skelter, noisy, busy, crowded...lots of movement.
Took some gonads to enter this if you had any interest in a decent score. Based on your notes in the Photographer's Comments, it appears you entered this because you liked it. :)
Kudos to you! Keep the vision and the passion.
Take care.

| I love the colours and the overall composition but I find the whites a little too white and dazzling. |

| This effect is really nice, but there is almost too much blur for the shot to be recognizable as a landscape. |

| I appreciate the motion of the shot but too much of the exposure is blown-out out for me. Could you have stopped down the apeture more while keeping a slow shutter? If not maybe a neutral density filter could help you slow it down further. |

| I really wonder how this is gonna go, I'm clueless to what does well here and what it doesn't haahhahahahahaha I gotta say I'm definetly giving you a 10 because of your originality in this shot. Everything about it works, to me its a perfect representation of a busy city! Hope it gets top 10! =D Good luck! |

Interesting shot but knowing where you are shooting I think I'd prefer a nice sharp picture. Not one that was taken while you were walking. You have good colors, a decent composition but the wavy effect doesn't work here.
Sorry. |

| nice blur action here, with the "bright lights big city" feel to it, really gets across the frenetic rhythm of a city! if I were to say anything "negative", it's that the lights seem almost too bright, particularly at center screen, but it's also late & I don't party like I used to! |

| I can make a guess that this is Times Square NY, this is really a nice place and I think it would have come nice if you would have used a tripod or a high ISO value. |

| This could be seen as art or simply a blurred photograph. |
