You requested a critique from the club:

It's definitely one of the best motion photos that I've ever seen:
- I like the smoothness of this picture,
- the colors are soft while featuring a significant variety,
- almost no details could be recognized, so it's perfectly abstract
- the composition make the viewer "read" this picture from left to right due to a bright rectangle on the right and lines that move as ascending left-right diagonals, which make the viewer to see the only detail that can be identified (the window on top right corner) after having looked on the whole picture. Than the eye moves back, creating a better understanding of what's on that picture. I believe this creates a dreamy mood.

There is only one thing that I think shouldn't be there: the signature. Adding a signature in the middle of a picture is really a bad idea: it distorts composition and makes it difficult for the watcher to fully appreciate it; a horizontal signature is way too visible, especially while so big, so it's just sign of bad taste. have a look at website of world-wide known photographers - you'll never see such a huge horizontal signature. It's generally either vertical and very small, or even without signature at all - and never in the middle of a shot. I have a few more thoughts about then signature issue, but I've written to much already and it's rather off topic.
