a touch of color
under my control

I stopped by the dining hall at the University with a friend, and one of the workers there was wearing this. I was trying to just capture a picture of her, but there were a lot of people moving around. In the end, this photo was the result. It felt like a monster had possessed the camera and suddenly the world around it vanished.

E: Very interesting shot. I like the effect that resulted from the moved exposure. The nice colors and composition finish what I believe is an excellent photograph. Congratulations.

I can imagine you moved seeing this, but on the other hand it could also have frozen you, so it wasn't that disastrous :). The result is awesome and awful at the same time, spooks always shake the room and furniture, and this one is a genuine one as you can see!

Intense. I'd hate to be a store clerk if one of these masked "creatures " showed up.
