don't put yourself down with "kind of turned out". Let your work speak for itself. The fact is it "DID" turn out. The movement is great, the sense of depth mixed with the tones makes for a photo that looks like a painting that took a solitary artist alone in a studio a month to figure out with agonizing brush strokes. Your not a kid in high school--you are another visual artist regardless of age.
Misshomespun I would have agonized over it for a month to try to get the same affect that you captured in a sec. GREAT SHOT!
