I agree - this perfectly represents the feeling of the season.

Karen Stuebing 04-Dec-2005 11:42
The action blur gives this the perfect frantic Xmas shopping feel. You've reinforced my intention to stay away from malls and shop online. :)

JW 04-Dec-2005 08:36
Look at all those potential calendar buyers! Keep em coming!

(The perfect antidote to Christmas shopping is to be the other side of the counter - puts me off the whole commercial racket altogether! And I can save towards a 10-22!)

very moody picture..i liked it.full of motion.

Guest 04-Dec-2005 00:45
I love this photo, crowd in motion, it gives very well the feeling of the crowd.

Guest 04-Dec-2005 00:36
kinda claustrophobic.....i think i will do some online shopping. :P

Roe.. 03-Dec-2005 21:05
perfect capture..looks like NYC?

Bob Floyd 03-Dec-2005 17:50
You just convinced me to stay home today, Ray. Great shot.

Lee Rudd 03-Dec-2005 17:25
nightmare! well captured

Rene Hales 03-Dec-2005 16:28
This image gives me a dizzy feeling, but I think that is what the holiday rush always gives me. I try to avoid it if possible. Your image really does capture the mood!--Rene

Nice effect:)

I'm going back to bed...
...can't see straight!

Did you hook up with that brunette
at the pub Ray?

KimKong 03-Dec-2005 15:40
The crowd, the blur, make me feel a bit sick...
It's a bit claustrophobic here...
Maybe it's because I am a bit hung over.
We had a great night yesterday at Dan's, eh!... ;)

Chris Brooker 03-Dec-2005 15:36
Hustle and Bustle!! I'm jolly pleased our gift shopping is done.
You have captured the "Christmas Theme!!!" very well.

Marek Kacprzak 03-Dec-2005 15:35
some things never change... great use of blur to further emphasize not only the crowd but also its constant movement. visiting malls & shopping centers gives me an idea what it would be like to be one of many ants rushing through the mound (although, I strongly suspect the critters are much more efficient and orderly;)

great capture!
