Indoors at night. Used a revolving disco ball.Couldn't quite figure how to change the settings on my camera to get a good long- exposure. So using the revolving ball I hoped it would give a feeling of movement and passing of time. Resized, selective colouring, exposure/lighting, dodge/burn, remove spots and usm.

This is great. I gave it an 8. You were right in using the revolving lighted ball. The way it cast interesting shadows on the lady's face is purr-fect, and the streaks of the colored lights does indeed help achieve a feeling of movement. The harsh shadows on the model's lower lip and neck/chest bothered me, but not overly so. Kudos on an excellent photograph! I'm amazed this didn't end up on the top 10 or even 20.
lol I have the same spinning ball :D As interesting as this photo is I'm not fond of it. It fits the challenge well but does very little for me. It has great color and excellent crispness/sharpness and is very well composed but to me it lacks interest because of the subjects involved with the photo. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <7>
