With this picture, I want to go to Florence!
Nice panning, well framed, which makes me think of a dream with the blurred mlovement. I like this kind of shot, so unusual in TE...

Hello christian,
The blurry profile works very well in this case and adds to the feeling of combined speed and grace, well done.

Hello Christian,

A lot of poetry on this shot. You found the right tuning for the blur and the contrast, still keeping enough details on the white bird.
This photo shares a nice dreamlike feeling.

Yves.

Hi Christian!

Marvelous! For me, that one is a masterpiece. Mystic, with a bold use of the blur, in a simili-panning... very much inspiring for me. Like the flight of a soul... it recalls Jonathan Livingstone, despite the fact that this is not the same kind of bird. Anyway, humans are very weird birds! ... oddballs! The motion blur is really beautiful with these strong contrasts, and poetic. It goes straight to my favorites as well as in my theme : 'Blur, the perfect imperfect".
Congratulations!
Regards
Marine

Hi Cristian,
I must agree with Sayeed's sentiment (above), and predicatment, I had a photo deleted too , but this is very uplifting and gives me some faith in TE that artful images stay alive here.
I cannot wax lyrical about this...it is simply beautiful and..poetic.
Have a great week
Justin

Hi Christian
The blurriness and contrast between the heron and water make this so artistic. The movement from one corner to the other is dynamic too. Is the slightly out of sync frame (the dark line around the actual shot) deliberate ?
Regards
Nikki

Ciao Christian,
bella la Garzetta presa al volo. Neppure quando tento, inutilmente, un pannig su questi uccelli mi riesce un mosso così.
Complimenti. Ciao Mari

Mi dispiace che non pubblichi piu' le tuue foto.
Pero' sono daccordo su come e' mal gestito TE, che infatti sta perdendo utenti.
Ci lasci con una foto che e' un capolavoro.
Assolutamente perfetta, un lavoro di gran classe.
Ciao
Stefano
