Using my son's stuffed doll, Eddie, I set up my camera for a 30 second exposure. I posed him and used a simple flashlight for the lighting, with about 3-4 seconds of light shined at each stage of the tumbling run.

your skill and techniques are supurb! I would have voted this higher if you would have used a real person. Using a doll lowers the professionalism in my book. The picture is good, just hate the doll. Sorry--vote 6
This is a fun shot. Fairly well executed. The bright spot in the middle where three positions of the doll all have the hair is a bit of an eye grabber.
This would be cute in a kid's room. Well executed but being a cartoon-ish doll, it doesn't have quite the appeal that maybe another object would have doing the same thing. Maybe that's just my perspective. Good luck in the challange!
