Visted Chicago last weekend and tried my best to get some good shots. I only liked a few, but I feel like something is missing. I'm disappointed in the blur at the left hand and foot. :/ Any suggestions? I've a sepia version here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/purified/fd9c0d6b.jpg

I like the free spirit feeling in this shot. :clap

You mentioned that the motion bothers you - but I'm of the opinion that there isn't enough blur in the subject. Photos that capture motion are special, and a little more might be good here. This kind of happiness and enthusiasm shouldn't be frozen, IMO. It also could use a wee bit of a rotation so the lamposts, building lines and the sidewalk in the background aren't tilted. Overall, very well done. :thumb

I'm inclined to say I don't mind the motion blur either. It shows the enthusiasm of the moment. Also, more then just the left foot is a bit blurred, the left hand is as blurred, and the edges of the jacket are just a wee bit blurred. I like the effects, it shows the subject's motion. The framing is good, and I like the tunnel effect of the trees.

Is the subject you? If not, was it a set up, or was your friend randomly running?

I already saw your Chicago photos on your gj page, didn't comment tough.
I wouldn't also mind seeing a bit more blur here, but if you want my honest opinion... you have much better chicago photos on your site.

No, the subject isn't me, my friend was just running around when I took the shot. :)

Davidoff, really? I posted this one particularly for constructive criticism, because I thought it wasn't 'top notch'. I'm glad that my other efforts weren't in vain.
