San Antonio, TX. No manipulation. Motion streaks are what remain of a party barge passing by on the river under the arched walkway. Hilton Hotel backdrop. Approx. 4 sec. exposure. Fuji Velvia 6X6 scan.
What a fantastic shot. Kudos to you! the colouring is great the framing is also very well catered for. Over all I have to give this one the perfect 10.
Yeah ... had your image here in the voting booth and I was immediately struck by its' visual impact.
Took some time to take it in ... and here is my breakdown:
Composition is but one of the standout elements, but for me the strongest in your visual offering here. You framed this extremely well. Love the way the arch serves to guide the viewers' eyes to and frame as well, the setting of the outdoor patio scene.
Colours? Yeah ... very, very nice.
You were either lucky, or you are really, really ... really good, insofar as the light streaks not interferring with the portion of your photograph here that centers around the patio. In either case ... it doesn't matter ... what does matter is that it works well compositionally.
Very, very nice shot. Well done, and thank you for sharing this one.
