Arriving to Machu Picchu town (2)

She was one of the last passengers to leave the night local train.

Many tourist opt to do this in order to enjoy the citadel, up the

mountain, from the very sunrise.

odd scene. i like it.

I would like to see the central face foucused (flash in?).

Thanks for the comments. This is a true snapshot, and the blur is due to the movement of the girl in half a second. Actually there's a little of camera movement too. Although the use of flash looks like it would've been a good idea, I guess she would've detached from the background, while I like she to be mixed with the whole scene.

Honestly, I like the movement and the blur of the face. It gives the shot a mysterious quality, which I enjoy. By the way, the shot is composed extremely well! Really nice job!

 

Also, thanks for all of you kind comments!

 

Face looks strange considering the background is sharp. Interesting

I love this shot. I think the movement totally adds to the flavor and feel of the moment.

Thank you all for your comments.

By the way Peter, I missed the pictures of your girlfriend, those that you included in your forum thread on last Christmas. They were amusing and remarkable. Hope you repost them any day soon.

Tiffany, Chris, I think the same on the effect of the blur, though it wasn't pursued at the moment of the shot.

Alec, yes there's this contrast between blur and sharpness and I like how that in my opinion helps to separate her from the whole and make her the main subject, actually without taking her out of the place, as a flashlight would've done.
