The Photo Contest: Moving

It is a challenge portraying motion with a static, two-dimensional medium such as photography. The winners, here, did a superb job with that challenge.

We chose "Whee", Wayne Harlech-Jones's photo of a woman on a swing, as the Grand Prize winner. The bright, primary colors of the woman against the bright green moving background, combined with the sharpness with which Harlech-Jones captured the woman made this image stand out. I also liked the placement of the woman within the image as well as her pose which together emphasize the motion.

Our first runner-up was Nathan Clarke's "Llamadas". The use of a slower shutter speed in a nighttime environment allowed Clarke to capture this image emphasizing the frenetic nature of this festival, something that would not have happened if all of the subjects were static and sharp.
