Bardzo fajne swiatlo, ciekawie budujace atmosfere modlitwy. fajnie ujety ten szereg i dolaczajacy do niego kolejni wierni. Dobrze uchwycone i umiejetnie skadrowane.
pozdrawiam,

Hi Maciej, I was immediately attracted by this picture, I think the dynamism is caught here exceptionally, we see how the line of people grows literally "as we look", a very successful effect, and it is nice that the clothes of the moving two men are brighter than those of the most people which are already standing. Good work!

Cheers
Alexander

I do like the movement of the guy on the left hurrying to his place. Nicely seen Maciej. Well done. Chris

Witaj Macku,

podoba mi sie to ze ten szereg powstaje. Wiec zaczynajac od prawej wszyscy sa tacy jakby zamrozenia. natomiast ci dwaj goscie po lewej rozmyci. Dobry efekt.

Powiedz jak to jest robic zdjecia podczas modlitwy w takim miejscu. Tez mamy w Seulu takie miejsce ale nie wyobrazam sobie ze by mnie chetnie tam widzieli podczas modlitwy.

hi Maciek,

I am impressed by the smooth light in this place. great blurred late comer adding to the overall pinkish tones... how did you manage to take photos inside a mosk? no pb?
take care

This is a lovely presentation of the architecture and the worshippers. The sense of movement created by the blurred figures is perfectly placed to lead the eye into the compositions and to create a sense of drama. Regards kevin

Hi Maciek. Nice, but not up there with your usual I think. I think this lacks either some immediacy or some perspective; I think you needed to be either closer or further back. I do really like the look of the guy coming in from the left. Odd color cast to this, not sure if itis good or not, but I don't think it hurts things. Somehow, I also think you didn't take full advantage of the diagonals available to you either. Take care Maciek

Phooey on Darren, I think this is a great photo. Weird colour, great blurring, super textures and patterns... successful.

Interesting shot, Maciek. Especially I like the two blurred men and the various types and color of dressing. Was it a candid shot?

As always, so beautiful. There is again a marvellous mysterious quality inherent in this shot too, given by the motion blur of the praying men entering the line of other prayers. The soft mauves and purples are tremendous. A fine, fine work

Czesc Maciej,
Interesting colors here, the purple and pink hazing and I especially like how it is blurring with the mystic-like movement captured here. A very nice exposure, as well.

Dear Maciej, just so well timed and composed. I am not sure if you planned this or if it is an accident, but whatever, it is fantastic speaks volumns. Your action man just inside the frame running for his place, the others already still in prayer. Certainly the best shot I have seen since I retunred.

That's lovely Maciej, the way the motion blur carries color, still REDDISH from the outside world, moving toward a cooler and static BLUE of reflection...and prayer.
My 02 cents anyway ;o)
Best,
Francis

Hello Maciej

More and more I like this kind of pictures. They are more attractive than the ones taken in full sunshine. But you need a digital, and this is perhaps the reason why I like them, because, they probably represent what I wasn't able to create with the analogs, or only with some luck.
I wish you an excellent week-end

Maciej, I've been watching what alot of people are doing with blur these days. This one is right up there, a still shot with motion. regards, c
