Lovely one! I too was engaged in precisely the same attempt with the flying ducks, experimenting with various shutter speeds to capture the right effect, and I agree that choosing just the right speed is the greatest challenge with this kind of an image. I think you've done remarkably well here in attempting to convey your previsualised design. The feeling of busyness is certainly there, and the tight composition works very well to emphasise the over-crowding in limited space and a sense of frenetic panic to get away from clear and present danger. Is the pale pinkish cast natural or introduced in PP? I don't know what the thoughts of others here are about a possible (slight) contrast boost. As it is the vagueness and low profile look of the image make it powerful enough, but I'm wondering whether it could be given further oomph with some contrast. Or perhaps it is my insipid monitor again. I guess that bit is subjective at the end of the day anyway. Overall I really liked this image. Centrefold stuff!
