Great job, Martha! I've never had any luck with long exposures without a tripod. This is excellent! #1707945

Mitch Spence level-classic May 05, 2018

I do like that tinge of red elsewhere as well as in the main subject. You know, the more I look at this the more I get something of a confrontational feeling with the figure approaching our star. #11698490

Amanda D. Austwick level-classic May 05, 2018

Love the splash of red on the solo figure, behind the crowd. #11698491

What a cool shot, Martha! Love that touch of color and long exposure! #11698547

Patrick Rouzes level-classic May 05, 2018

I feel, even without the splash of red, the eye immediately would be drawn to the girl! This does hold ones attention, Martha! Wonderfully done! #11698594

Michele Peterson level-classic May 05, 2018

Magnificent work here Martha, love the motion, pov, light and of course the sc and red sets a great mood for the image!! #11698614

Terry A. Stoa May 06, 2018

That's really an interesting image, Martha. For a 1/4-sec exposure to show such motion, they must've been moving pretty fast! I like how the girl in red is just all alone... fallen behind but quickly trying to catch up. #11698682
