    Slow shutter - C&C are welcome !!

    Kindly share your critics for my below images. There are two similar images.

    Hi Tejal:

    Thank you for sharing your images with us. I can see what you are working on here... for myself I would have tried to keep the area in front of your static element clear. I would suggest trying to find movement around your model (who is a sweetie!) This will cause your viewers to focus on the contrast of your static element against the blur of movement, but not obscure it.

    Hi Tejal,

    Was the effect planned or a surprise? I ask because what you've presented has a dreamlike or aquatic feel to it, wondered if you wanted to project a specific environment for the child. Nice effort.

    thanks John for your comment. Yes, it was very much planned, otherwise perhaps it would have been difficult to catch baby without blur.

    Sorry to be negative but it does nothing for me ( probably just me )

    I post my pics to get review as the photographer is always connected with his own photos emotionally n in that sometimes doesnt find out mistakes. So feedback from others always help. ☺

    I like these, and am certain that the Mum will love them!

    There's a lot of potential to extend from here - I'm thinking tripod, mutiple exposure, and stack-modes...

    Nice concept, Tejal. IMO the static feet below the stroller are too weird. Compositionally you could eliminate that. Also in the first image the boy in the blue shirt is distracting. As a concept I think you're on to something.

    I think you can tone down that blue shirt quite easily but the feet are a bit more tricky. Probably a bit of cloning would work. Or put a selection around the problem areas and do some serious blurring. Maybe try Motion Blur effect?

    Thank you for your valuable suggestion. Yes that could be done.

    Tejal - these are interesting shots, but I'm fairly certain that they are not working as well as you would like.

    The human visual system tends to prefer a clear subject with little or no blurring in front of it. Things that are going on around it, especially behind it are not a problem. The child in the stroller seems to be your fixed object, but the motion in front of it is distracting, and so reduces the effectiveness of this shot.

    The parts of people that are relatively static around the edge of the frame, especially in the first shot add distracting elements to the images.

    Definitely #2 wins. Another experiment that worked out.

    For me it looks like you've pressed the release by mistake.

    I think this would have worked if you had your camera on a tripod so it looked like it was planned. You would then have created an isolation of sharpness, a calm almost, within the turbulence of a busy environment.
