I find the motion blur a little distracting. Is this PS motion blur? The scene however, is very relavent for the theme

Thanks for the comment. There's very little photoshop post-processing on the image - it's just a long exposure (1/6s) coupled with some fill-flash to capture the facial expression.

I'm probably the third person to comment on this, please no identifier markings on images.

That screams JOY. I love the blur effect to emphazise the fun, yet you can still totally see the girl's expression.

The copyright note in the picture defeats the anonymity proposed by weeklyshot.

I really like the idea, too bad that her face is not more emphasized. Maybe a bit stronger flash, or some more post-processing? Also, the watermarked image doesn't really help the concept of anonymity...

She's clearly having fun, however, I wish something was in focus here. If you were able to pan her face clearly and have everything else out of focus (spinning), it would be more effective. These shots are really tough, though!
