Portrait Blur!

[steevdavis62]

This is a photo i cant decide if i liked or not. It is a self portrait of myself, taken a while ago. While i still had longer hair... I got this effect completely by accident, because i wasnt close enough to the wall, and still moving, when my timer went off. But i really liked the effect it created in a way, yet dont like it in another way. Technically its probably not very good, but something still attracts me too it. Comments, thoughts and opinions are welcomed, please.

If the camera had shown more of the wall and your body (ie from further away) and you'd been moving in a single direction then the effect may have looked quite good.

However I personally don't like this shot, the bottom of your neck seams to be moving more than the top of your head, which actually makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe try one from further away moving in one direction?

Fair enough, i see what your saying. Like i said, this photo happened completely by accident. I didnt plan any of it really, i was trying to do normal portraits. But thanks for the idea. I might try and do one, with this effect, but control the effect. thanks

Well i think its a good shot if the camera had you in focus than the wall.

I kind of like it. I don't really like blur much at all... but for an 'accidental' shot, its really cool. I just don't like how part of your hair is not blurred... Maybe blur it in photoshop.
