With this pic I just used a remote timer and a tripod then twirled around until I got something I liked. The light was coming from my bedroom window.
Even though it's advanced editing I didn't take advantage of this. I removed sensor dust, bumped up saturation and used levels and the dodge tool to lighten up some of the shadows. My shirt had a pattern on it which created the cool swirls and I liked the effect.

Love this image, with such a vibrant and dynamic image, it looks like it should be a poster. So glad to see someone making good use of a remote release, tripod and long exposure. Great use of colours and above all the KISS principle, makes this more than deserving of its top 10 finish. Frankly, I think this should have finished a lot higher if not in the ribbons.
And as an aside, very glad you didn't go hog-wild in the pp department. Especially in a challenge like this, with an image like this, just a tad too much post work could have easily killed this shot.
Overall lovely work, please keep up the good work!
