5th Place
Slow Blues*

Even the slowest of the Blues might be too fast if you dont hear it with the heart.

Neat idea with that blurred hand 'ghost' and fajtastic diagonal composition. Personally I think this shot just begged for B&W and you made it so!

Great composition - I love the blurred hand!

Wonderful. The ghosting is just incredible, Temis. Your comments are so true ;-)) Denise

Well done. Really nice!

Great shot. I'm not sure why I entered after seeing this.

If you have more, or if you feel like shooting more, I would be curious to see what it would look like with a slightly longer exposure and/or the fingers coming a little further to the right.

This is one of the finest shots !

Very effective composition and use of B&W. The ghosting really adds interest as well. Nice work! Helen

The lighting and vertical key composition are very nice, and the ghosting is just about right. Any less wouldn't be noticeable, and any more would look like a layered photo. Nicely done.

Uii! Thanks for your comments, I feel pretty flattered. There is one thing I dont like about my shot (haha) I wanted the focus area under the "ghost" fingers, but somehow my H1 focused at another place hehe, I'll try to upload another entry.
Once again, thanks for your comments guys/girls :).
Regards,
Temis (Paseante)

Eery but elegant and beautiful. A nice idea that is well-executed.

Temis - I really like your idea and execution (as well as the comment :)). The B&W is a nice touch. ~ gaurav

Great shot Temis, I like it!

Nice use of a slow shutter, Temis, with just the right amount of ghosting on the hand. - Mike
