Thoughts please?

It's interesting, but I haven't quite decided if I like it. For a split second I thought it was a painting.

I do like the colors and the light. It's very impressionistic.

What is going on in this scene?

There is certainly a dynamism to this image however I am undecided about the blurring of the central characters.
The light and the setting are fantastic.

I like it Riaan. The light's wonderful, the colors are wonderful, and the motion of the people is very good. Just enough blurring to get the point across. Looks like a baptism ceremony.

+1.

That's the way I read it. Splendid!

I love it.  Looks biblical.  (Although I'm not entirely sure why or if that's a good thing.)

Lovely palette, great motion, posing.

Like all really good photographs, it asks questions.

I like it. Everything in this image is well done, the controlled blur, the side lighting, colors and framing.
Bravo.

Lovely image, Riaan, the movement adds so much to it, and the colours just merge magically.

This is just about the best use of motion blur I have ever seen. It conveys the forward thrust of motion, it adds a gorgeous painterly feel, and it takes nothing whatsoever away.

Really well done.

I agree with Tony, Riaan. This is - to me - the most interesting of your last number of posts (and I think it is probably due to the light and the colours).

Much obliged for the comments- it is appreciated.

Russ you are right, it is from a baptism ceremony.
