Cool!!!

Very nice... like the tiny silhouette of the guy

guess he didn't suffer from vertigo.

DON'T JUMP!!! I'm sure there is a better solution! (wonderful image author)

Yeah, really wonderful shot. But James is right... Don't jump. :P

This is beautiful!

Congrats for your second place!

this would probably be really cute but it is very pixelated.

Could use a bit of focus

I was actually slow-panning in low light...this is the "look" I was going for.

I have to agree with kyricom. There is no real point of focus in the picture and most of it seems like it's just melting together. At high resolution it's hard to even see the facial expressions of the people.

Personally, I think the image would benefit fit of someone, like the lantern carrying person, being in focus instead of just not being as unfocused as the rest of the picture.

Thank you for your comments...changed photo, same type of shot and such...hope this is better...but the ghostly thing is what I was going for here...just practicing some different techniques. i was getting tired of the same old thing...future submissions of this type should get better as I practice more

For a "ghostly" look I think having the background sharp would work better than it being blurry as well. This way you would get the look you want without sacrificing the interest for the looking eye. To achieve this all you need is a tripod or a stable enough surface area, like a table, where you can put your camera. A longer shutter speed, which allows the background to be sharp but everything that moves in the picture will become blurry.

nice shot ! on theme

Funny how thee are so many stores where they won't let you take photos. I usually find the best way, is to not ask and don't use the flash.

nice variety of products

Ah, friiskiwi, no way you can ignore them, lest they call 911, and have you charged with whatever their little heart desires. Also, flash or no flash, chances are that you won't go unnoticed.

I use a wide angle, and point the cam in the general direction I want the shot to be, and take a few 'covert' shots with the cam on my shoulder or hip as if I am just carrying it...

Very nice pic....On theme....Nice trick Ade

Nice trick Ade...thanks for the info, I was going to pass on this contest for fear of being harassed by the authorities for photographing...nicely done author

Nice shot, author.

Very good, wonderful angle. GL

This is cool.. but it has put your other entry in a problem of anonymity.. Good Luck..

The only reason why I was little hesitant about this. However, it cannot be avoided for this, sadly.

Good Luck..

beautiful but i still prefer the A

iquraishi: Thank you.

Lamantine: Both pictures emit different kind of feeling from them. Myself, I prefer the "A" as well. However, I do like the "R" as well just not the same as the other one.

Since the pictures are "two sides of a coin", anonymity was shot...

Both entries are very nice. It's a shame they are going to both get removed. (unless you flag one of them for removal)
