interesting shot-- i like the splash of color; some "mistakes" do make decent photos...

Beautiful accident!

I love this. One of the books I'm currently reading has a section about slowing down the shutter speed and moving the camera to achieve this look. I've been wanting to try it, but haven't found the right subject to try it on. This is a really great 'mistake'. :)

A brilliant mistake ... deep, dark saturated tones with streaks of light to move the viewer through the image ... I like it very much.

Oh, I like it! Bravo to you for posting. Very arty and interesting. Makes one pause, contemplate and visualize.

Whats interesting is that you can still make out the scenes details.

Count me as one who likes it. It no longer is "about" anything and is just instead a study in color. Nice.

I like it very much - nice atmosphere and colors

Maybe you should have cropped it right down to just the streaks of light.Just my opinion!!

Unplanned shots really do give us something to feel uneasy about . . especially when they turn out as good as this !

serendipitous shots have their charm :) I like the streaks of light, as if they were fireworks or glowsticks or some very exotic varieties of glowworms. is that a shadowy figure toward the right hand side?

@baobab: yup! good guess!
Great effect!

A great absract, I like the colours and motion in this shot.

Dan I have many photos like that, does that say something about photography...?

@Observing: LOL. I guess it means you experiment a lot with your photos, which is good
Way cool colors you captured in this one.

I like the red and blue contrast in the top half. nice "mistake"

Sometimes they can be interesting.

They had a theme of "embrace the blur" on JPG Mag awhile back --this would have been perfect.
