Train 2 (TNEMKNABME)
Comments:
Right away I like the sense of motion and abstract design and color. I think I found more of interest in the one posted last month, but will revisit this again when I'm not quite so tired.
Can I borrow this for our next club competition - moving life?! It's not quite the same with a rural bus; and they don't move fast enough!
The abstract here works well, particularly as there is no clue as to which way the motion is (or if there is, I can't see it). Once one has decoded the name one can't imagine not recognising it immediately but at first glance it is just letters. Now, one is drawn to the writing as if it could tell one any more about the scene. If I was to try and pin down the picture with one word, it would be hypnotic. Nominally, it hasn't got the details of the other picture but this is much more compelling - or ... hypnotic.

krow taerg!
Perhaps the right hand side loses a little as there is an unbalance in amount of 'white'.
Through the blur you can clearly recognize so much (assuming you know the London Underground that is). Ther blur of the symbol is spot on and there is enough of the station name to locate accordingly.
Lots of movement captured in a fraction of a second.
Ouch. The journey home after too many beers :-)
My first thought was that unbalance/white on the right, but covering it up reduces the picture to a pattern. A lot of the movement is suggested by the off centre placement of the Underground symbol.
