Flamenco guitarists, Seville, Spain, October 2006. Handheld, two-second exposure.

This does very little for me. The blur is way over done. Seated guitarists are not dynamic subjects. I think this would be much more interesting if only their arms and hands were blurred to this extent.

It may be that the light was so low your lens required a 2 s. exposure. In so, you did the best you could. If this was the case, now you know why people use fast (< f 2.0) lenses.

You make good points, willie. As you guessed, I was shooting in low light. Although I could have gotten away with maybe a one-second exposure with my glorified point-and-shoot, I chose a longer exposure to experiment with blurring. Thanks for your comments.

Realy too blury to me, too sad, it could be a good photo, lights and feelings seem to be great.
