FYI - for all you speed voters, this is not DNMC lol.
Not a "trip the lights fantastic" shot that will probably be expected for this challenge. I actually found it hard to show movement with light - my pics sucked. So I took this photo at dusk. It's a flowering bush - no clue what they are. I used a flash light and a blue light of some kind to highlight the flowers. So those lights were moving - you just see the end result. (These are white flowers, by the way.)
So it's going in because I liked how the colors turned out!
Score predict: hopefully above my double take pic

Hooooo Michelle, you really did take a risk with this one and I bet at least half those 4's, and all of the 3's are people who speed vote and did not get the subtlty of what you want
I think this is a really beautiful image, wonderful focus and a very clever effect
Love the blue tones here. I find the back branch a bit distracting but without it a definite change in composition would be in order to account for the negative space. This may have looked nice with a square crop.
