Great work transforming a banal image into a great capture!

I’ll seconed the above opinions. Great capture and I like also the square cropping. Did you use a hand held less than .5 sec exposure with a rear curtain flash? This is indeed a unique and wonderful capture. Even thou all the image is out of focus, this is what makes it so charming and appealing. Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.

He made that spare… and the strike after that… he is a pro.
Thanks for your supportive words, Ruth!

Thank you for your nice words, Eyal!
I couldn’t use a flash in there (it’s disturbing). I experienced with exposure times of 0.5 to 1 sec, to get the full motion blur. This was in fact what I intended to get, as rear curtain sync would have put the subject in focus at the end of the movement. Of course hand held, so the overall out of focus is evident, but I agree this is not so bad in this case. Thanks again Eyal.
