| I can definitely see what you're going for here and it works for me. I think what makes it work is that the girl is looking directly at the camera, so it really draws the viewer to her. With the hair color and splash of purple...I just really like the overall effect. |

| Definitely a good idea to post this in the Reaction Club. My reaction: She is moving from the light, coming back from playing in the brightness, and she really needs to concentrate to come back to this mix of darkness, shadows, lines and space. Maybe she'll go and visit again, but daddy's waiting, so she's trying really hard to get back before dinner . . . |

| Oooo, very impressionistic. I like the angle of your subject and the soft blur - which is very obviously intentional. And even in that blurred state, your daughter is still beautiful. |

| Yeah, for a free study, the literal people around here won't give it a great score, but it is a nice shot. I like the white background and swirling sense of it. I think it's way under rated. Should've been in the top half at least. ;!D |

| Jeffrey, is that you? I hope so. I'm not willing to say that YOU have got my number just yet, but this photo certainly does. |

| I like the fact that in the middle of the blur and movement there is still a piercing stare coming out at you. Good effect |

| A little too washed out for my personal tastes, though I do like the angle and off-centered composition. |

| very creative picture. I like your high key approach.combined with motion blur. The result is very pleasing and pulls the viewer right into you picure. Well done |

| Jeffrey - I appreciate the risk you took entering this photo, and the fact that both Neil and Deb really like it says a lot. This one does not work for me overall - I'm not a fan of the colors, and I think the lines leading away from the turquoise/greenish design on her shirt pull the eyes right out of the photo. I do like her facial expression and the sense of motion apart from the aforementioned turquoise lines. In the end I think it's very cool that you entered this instead of a "safe" photo. You probably knew you'd get hammered, but hopefully you'll get some interesting comments - and you already have one fave, right? |

| This is very interesting, really enjoy it. I hope people have their monitors calibrated, I think some will be lost if not. Can't quite figure out the processing, not just simple blur, seems to have some texture. Would be interested in how you did this. Only (small) gripe would be the expression, to me this seems playful, but the expression deosn't match. |

| Low vote, the motion adds nothing and the subject almost looks angry that you are taking her photo with her head tilted down. Too white washed and the only thing that really stands out is the hair. (footnote: yes i did read picture title but its not conveyed imo) |

| Maybe would have prefered the main figure to be a bit darker to contrast more with the background. She looks like she's walking out of a dream world, and has seen something very sobering that she wants to tell you with her gaze. Very neat. |

| Sorry it's not doing well--I think it will improve. But its very cool, and definitely my kind of shot, so what you can't get in score, you'll make up in favorites! |

| Blur and high key are friends of mine, but I wish there was more to the image or a tighter crop to really bring the focus on the girl. The left side just doesnt help the image IMO. But kudos for submitting something different. While you may not get a high score you sure will reach a more devoted group of viewers who crave something outside the DPC Free Study box. |
