Interesting, but blurred... I know that probably you had few light, but there is no sense of movement, just blurred...sorry.

almost for the safe it needs something extra to make it passed the critics. Interesting is the escalator not the feet. Take this photo down the escalater to the delete me stack. voted as "deleteme" (from Delete me! group)

It's an interesting picture. But technically it's flawed with out it adding any distinctiveness to the collective, sorry image.

Good idea, but its a shame that the only thing in focus is the bottom step.

Simon Pais-Thomas says:

i agree with the rest. good idea, but the important thing isn't in focus.. so the image kills itself.

It's a dull idea, it's not an interesting picture. Technically flawed or not, this doesn't do anything for me.

well framed , well timed, but the focus is off, as mentioned before.

dtype says:

You saw a good opportunity for this shot, and took it. Great find!

The focus detracts from what might otherwise be a more interesting look at the detail of the escalator and the subject at hand, however.

Not sure why I like this. But a dodgy subject for us Londoners at the moment. Unfortunately it is on its way out.

Why did you crop out the part that was in focus?

rottenbetsy says:

I'm going to make up a little song about focus, and why it is generally a good idea, and sing it while I delete every meaninglessly blurry shot I find.

This is a really great shot which captures the movement of the left leg very well. It has a some grittiness in it too, which I like a lot.

I really like this one, makes me realize that all the time i spend on transit (we have a bunch of escalators) isnt a total waste :P

theshanghaieye says:

wonderful shot! wonder if you have to crouch down low to get this shot. :)

i was just thinking maybe governments should seriously consider turning escalators into slides so that no one slips and falls. and it should be more fun that way. don't you think?

here's my concept:
