Excellent in many ways.

This is fun and creative. I can't see "twisted," but I can imagine twisted. Is that one or two people we see in the background? Do you think that the shot might have more impact if the person on the right were cropped out, leaving just one person in the center of the image?

Didn't see the faces in the thumbnail.
I used to see those trails myself,
but I didn't know you could photograph them!

I am not usually a big fan of the dancing light style of photographs, but this one is very attractive. I enjoy the image greatly! The blend of colors and the ghostly image of the person is very well done.

Absolute aces! This image is so graphical and whimsical at the same moment. Really wonderful colors and eye movement.

Spooky and twisted.

Thanks for the positive responses everyone.

King...I played around with cropping off the right side like you suggest. I felt it made the image 'stationary'. With the face showing up on the right side as well, I felt like it gave the photo movement, drawing the eye from one side to the other. I took a chance with this crop! Hope it was the right choice!

PhotoChron,

I wasn't making a suggestion on how to crop this. I just wondered if you considered it (as you had) and how that would change the image. It's easier to ask than to copy it into PhotoShop and find out for myself. Just being lazy.

However, I am interested in the creative process and how folks consider all the decisions to be made before posting an image. Thanks.

King...Your thoughts are the same as mine! This one was driving me crazy trying to figure out an appropriate crop. Not an easy composition to pull off! Thanks...
