I tried to shoot this a few times. By the time I got to this shot, my model was worn out, and pretty sick of spinning, but it ended up the best composition. I attached my camera to a belt and tightened around my stomach.
For some reason I lost brightness and color when I saved for web in Photoshop--opening it back in PS gave me the color I wanted. Anyone know what gives?

BTW, she wasn't really THAT scared! She happens to be more dramatic than anything else, I think she was more annoyed than scared that I kept spinning her around--this expression ended up being the best result.
I don't know what to think of this photo. It is interesting mainly because the fear on the girl's face is real. Therefore this seems cruel and exploitative. Good clarity, considering the spinning. The sky is a bit washed out, but technical aspects take a backseat to subject matter in this photo, I'd say. Fits the theme. Hurts that so many photos in this challenge used the same idea.
She looks scared as hell! Makes me laugh a bit, is that wrong? Only this that bothers me is that her arm is cut off. But you probably had one chance before she ran into the house in terror! Nice idea.
