This looks like a goregous impressionist rendition of a fine painting. I am SO going to do this during the next big rain. Love it! |

Colleen, this is one of my favorite photos ever taken on this site. I think it is absolutely stunning, remarks I don't make lightly. I think this was hands-down the blue-ribbon deserving photo in this contest. |

I didn't vote in the challenge and only made one comment (on yours) and I did look at every image in the challenge at full size (not just thumbs). I was really taken by this shot right away and the ribbon is well deserved!! When an image keeps me looking at it for a long time then in my mind that is a great image. WTG!! |

For those asking about how the effect was accomplished, just turn off your windshield wipers during a downpour (when you're pulled over!)
That's just wrong. Seriously, this is beautiful. Congartulations! |

Massive congrats, very south of France. I actually think the strongest side of this is not so much the blur but the impression of wetness - it drips. No, it doesn't, but it sure looks wet. |

Great feel of a rainy day, the blurriness is the point of this shot. Nice arrangement of elements in your composition. Another of my 10s for this challenge. |

Guessing this was done with petroleum jelly or cling film? Beautifully impressionistic (is that actually a word?) Love the softness of it, although it's possibly not messy enough for some. |

Nice photo... you've created a piece of art. A beautiful scene, and the blurriness adds to the viewing pleasure... something very few others were able to do in this challenge. |

This is a beautiful image, I like it a lot. It is blurry and interesting but not messy enough in my understanding to go higher then 7 in my ranking for this challenge, ... but it goes to my favorites pictures! |

I absolutely love this and truly hope it does really well in the challenge. This image has an "Impressionism" quality that I have yet to find in any of the other images I have seen to date. You truly have captured the essence of the challenge. |

Lovely work - not a great a first impression (not bad, though), but definitely has longevity if you look at it longer than just a glance's worth... I have to give you an extra point as I'm not 100% sure how you achieved this look. My guess is water on a pane of glass (car window, perhaps?) combined with lens blur, of course, & maybe a bit gaussian in post. Regardless, it is a pretty compelling piece of work (the validation helps). My only quibble is the lack of dynamic luminance...

Awesome...I love this shot and is a 10 in my book. The blur in this is perfect and the tones wonderful. I can just imagine your excitement when you saw this for the first time on your monitor (or perhaps the LCD!). I would have been so pleased! |

This one is pretty nice... has a very impressionistic feel to it like a Monet painting.
edit to add: I raised your score after scoring them all, because I felt you met the "blurry mess" challenge, but still have a compelling image. Also, my wife noticed there is a floating white skull in the middle of the path. Spooky! |

WOW!! I just took a peak through this challenge "just to look" and I stopped here for quite some time. At first I saw one face in the "road" then I saw more then I saw a woman standing near the tree in the foreground then.... well I just kept finding faces. Some clear and some skewed; some skull like and some normal everyday faces. Maybe its just me and I'm seeing things but I had to let you know that I love this. It definately meets the challenge in my eyes and if I were voting you'd have a 10. WTG!! |
