thank you all for the overwhelming response to my secret agent penguin shot from yesterday...

[bkb in the city]

Nicely done

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent, like it a lot

[Paul J]

Nice, northy. The lighting works well here.

[Joce]

Awesome shot !! Nice blur and lighting !!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Works really well. I find getting the right amount of blur can be tricksy in b&w but I think you nailed it.

[Brigette]

i like this a lot too. thanks for the detailed notes on the Technique pages.. might have to have a go myself!

[Simply Amanda]

Really love that light. Nice play!

[Nancy]

The lighting is wonderful with just the perfect blur.

Okay, so since I left now there's a thing called "blurism"———
-----------
Okay, a few minutes later, having googled it, gleaning the Flickr group and this challenge on the first page, I take back my knee-jerk reaction. You just never cease to be hip, and I tip my unfocused hat to you. ;^)

[Amy-lee Edwards]

:D fantastic capture x

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Love!

[thirtysevenways]

I know I've said this before but love seeing a photo and knowing it's a northy before I see you name. Makes me happy :)

[Cat Whiskers - Nan]

Blurtastic!

[Chris Stapleton]

Great shot

[Margaret Obey]

Wow, that brings a different feeling to the shot.

[Amit]

Northy, and word on the PS tutorial? thanks!

[☠northy]

@squamloon well, you know, you don't have to like it as an art form :) and i seriously doubt i would qualify as "hip"... just ask my teenaged son ;p

[☠northy]

@lambda it's being worked on... give it a week or two i think...

[christine smith]

I like the feel of this; I admire when others do these types of shots, but worry that my own look "amateurish" ;)

[☠northy]

@christinesmith tx Christine... Ya gotta start somewhere! I knew next to nothing about what I was doing when I first started...

[iCamera]

Sense of dreamland or daydreaming when I view. Pretty awesome.

[Rachel Withey]

Love the light in this - cool blur

[Caryn]

Ooh, love this. Love the blur.

[Paula W]

Great light and exactly the right degree of blur - think I overdid it a bit on mine!
