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.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption
We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.

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.

Gee - I can see what you mean - it really does look like something got hold of your camera!!! Great result

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!
