such a cold shot, I love the blur - it emphasises what I imagine driving snow must be like.

@Bronnie: Thanks, Bronnie! Actually, it wasn't snowing when I took this, but I agree about the effect.

Sylvia from Milano, Italy

I like this, been trying to do the same but at night with mixed results. The tram windows are all so dirty and scratched up here, it either adds or distracts, not sure. This is very well framed, well done as the consistent image allows the blur to work, feels like movement but also solid.

@Sylvia: Thanks, Sylvia! I appreciate your thoughts on this. I was I suppose sort of a 'random' shot in that I didn't compose it with care. But I found it attractive and graphically clean when viewed large.

Aidan from Seoul, South Korea

This has a nice painterly impression. Great shot.

The idea I like. The final image is a little too blurry for my already tired eyes although as a graphic image it does have its points of interest. The capture of movement is effectively relayed and it puts me in mind of that blank state I sometimes go in when looking out train/bus/car windows and am preoccupied with my thoughts of this or that. When your eyes lock on a focal distance and everything just blurs. I like it more now I think about it. mmmmmm...

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks Duncan! It's a hazy sort of image. I just hope it isn't too dizzying; I'm forever criticising motion blur (at least privately - and it's certainly been a demon in many unposted subway shots, and a few posted ones as well). This one somehow makes me think of cake decorations - and that makes me happy.
