Matching colors

What caught my eye was the colors of her clothes beeing the same as the colors from the graffiti.



What do you think of the motion blur. Did it work in this photo?

I like it! The city makes you paint out all the grafffiti here. Even the 'good' graffiti. I occaisionally find some on a garage door here and there though.

I'm not sure about the motion blur, but the love the colours in this! Nice job!

Agree with gem here, the girl isn't really contributing to the shot imo. The colours are what is making the shot but the blurred girl is stealing our attention and she is less interesting than the graffiti. shot also seems to have a slightly blue cast on my monitor. Got any shots without the girl?

I'm going to disagree with Marko on this one and say that I feel the girls adds plenty to this photo. For me the graffiti is a human element in a photo full of human elements and the girl fits for that reason firstly. However, I also think her clothing colours are (as you identified yourself) critical to making her fit and not being a distraction.

I also like the blur. I like motion as long as something important in the photo is tack sharp.
