What I love about your images is the simplicity and yet profound definitions. There is no doubt what element is the focus of the image; it always stands out. I don't think this shot has any story to tell, but you did a great job capturing movement and emphasizing that by bringing out the vibrant red in the bag. Nice!

I love how crumpler name their bags :) I love the softness and motion of this shot - the bold red colour works very well with the neutral surroundings too. Great shot Dave :)

Ha. There is certainly a lot of chat about. I do like this image. But I have to say that I don't like the Crumpler bags. I say this because I'm using one at the moment. It's too small and too expensive. So Crumpler deserves a good blur. Funny.

Great! Looking at this pic I feel like I'm following this person. Amazing work, the red bag is fantastic, some kind of hypnotic.

I love the sense of motion and the stroke of the lines. The red really jumps out at you.

I like the three color scheme: beige, black, and red. Lots of exciting hot-pursuit motion too. Are you chasing this person and/or their bag somewhere special?!

I like the motion and the simple colors - red/black/beige, but after seeing that, there isn't much to see or think about.

oooooooooooh . . . . i absolutely love blur as a compositional element and use it a lot myself. this is a great shot; the shock of red plus the movement pulling the viewer into the story . . . . beautiful.

Firstly Dave - thanks for linking to my site - a nice debate is underway and if you have time then I would be interested in your comments.

I like this shot a lot. It has captured an amount of movement that isn't over blurred and the Red bag is a strong anchor and focal point in the image.

As the man behind the camera - what attracted you to this shot - was it the Red bag or did you see it as being iconic in some way.

I have got a similar shot of a business man carrying two briefcases in which I wanted to convey a sense of urgency.

Nice work

This is a good example of how monitor size can make a difference in appreciating a shot. The monitor I'm currently viewing this on is set at a 800 x 600 resolution, and therefore the shot takes up most of the screen. I had to step back a couple of feet to get a sense of what this was.

Now this is a classic chromasia shot. Really, really good shot Dave. I think motion shots are amongst the hardest to capture profesionally, but you've really nailed this one. Lovely work.

Wow. I really like this one. The way you use color alone to guide the eye is fantastic. I'm not an expert of any kind, but I don't think I've ever seen a shot quite like this.

The red forces your eye to look and the blur keeps you looking.

Erk... I really like your shots in general, but I'm afraid for me this is a case of the Emperor's New Clothes. Don't get the fuss here - this is one I'd have deleted almost instantly, although I do love the redness of it. Maybe there's a 'story' here from your point of view (although it sounds like you were too bushed to tell us - much like me right now!) but as I commented on yesterday's shot, sometimes 'story's aren't what motivates me to take, or like, a shot. I love the red, but I don't particularly like the lack of focus or context in this shot (and I don't mean focus as in sharpness).

I have this bag! the exact one! its so cool! yay for crumplers

I recognise that bag! Would this be Andy of Futura, taken at the meet?
I have a few images of other Pbloggers from previous meets and the red bag always stands out against the grey London streets.

Simple and beautiful. Nice work. :-)

I like this shot a lot!

It gives the sensation of the image in movement...

:)

Despite the blurriness, which normally destroys photos that I take, this is very soft and works well.

Thanks everyone, and no, this one doesn't tell a story. For me, this one was simply about catching the movement.

Which Crumpler bag is this one anyway?
