Ah - a masterful image. Just fantastic in terms of the challenge and as an independent image.

A thoughtful and intriguing blurry mess...a challenge tailor made for photos with substance and still we go for the shiny trinkets. Wish this had done better!

Behind the blur and mess this is wonderfully clear and organized . Congratulations on the Red.

One of my faves. I hope this ribbons. I love the blur from either the reflection or looking thru the window. The black and white is great and the graffiti is a bonus piece.

Bravo!! This is the kind of shot I was hoping to see, but was afraid no one would enter.

Briliant idea to capture this scene through a window like this.

I can tell exactly what is going on... and yet it is blurry and disorganized... and yet it is engaging. Excellent interpretation of the challenge.

Posthumous Red Ribbon.

I really like this entry into the challenge, even though I don't find this particularly engaging. You succeeded where many did not, though, in presenting the core implications of such a subjective challenge criteria.

You have blur, creatively (if not compellingly so) through your window, which is appropriately messy, and with chaotic, apparently unintended consequences - congrats on that! Since many entries seem to miss this element.

Disorganization is self evident here, and the play of light and distortion certainly qualify as to the nature of such a difficult challenge.

If only the subject matter had been more interesting, this is basically what I was looking for! But not to worry, as this is at least a more viable entry than the many simple abstracts, which to me, belong in a different challenge.

I was able to enjoy looking this over for a few moments before I was able to 'see' it, so I like it for that reason. The title added to the comp. And it is a blurry mess that is also very appealing. At least, to my eye. I predict this will score well.

this is a cool photo, almost looks like a foggy day. I think though that the graffiti is a bit distracting.

So there is. And some graffiti, too, and assorted splotches. Good take on the challenge.

The drudgery of the city. Nice shot and smart to use the window pane with graffiti.
