I took this on Echo Mountain near Idaho Springs, Colorado. Just kind of experimenting. It does
make me a little dizzy to look at but I still like the shot and thought it had merit as a "fine art" picture.

I suppose vertigo is artsy â€Â¦ Kinda gets a falling feeling going on here.

8 - I like the concept and the visual trickery. Up to 7 from 6. Actually, despite wondering (and I'm not) about further potential with pp or cropping, it's tricky enough that I am going up to 8. It is original in this Challenge and a form of art, in an odd and unique sense.

Nice use of zoom. I get dizzy if I look at this too long.

This makes me dizzy, but I'm not getting a fine art feel from it

This IS Quite emotional & visceral for me! I like the focus on the tree bough in the center of the photo with the zoom framing.

We both know that potentially this will not track well with the photographic purists because even the focus-point is of questionable clarity. However, at least this artist sees the Fine Art value of such an Impressionistic photo.

Snaps for having the courage to post it anyway! I give you a "7" for ART! :)

Hard to look at. It certainly grabed my attention.

What it would look like flying in a F22..

This seems to be a photo taken while zooming. It doesn't quite work for me as fine art, though, sorry.

Originally I had you voted pretty low, ok really low, but now that I look at it again I really think the effect you created is cool. I can't look at it long because it does get my head spinning but I feel like I am flying through the trees and for that I am bumping your score up significantly.

it feels like the picture is moving when I scroll up and down...IMO this needs some texture or blur added

Interesting effect. It makes my eyes squint and gives me a headache.

Bother's my eyes.

besides the speed blur, there is very little attraction in this picture. (imho)

This effect always makes me dizzy.

Wow I've just banged my head against the screen. I wouldn't like feeling poorly when looking at this
