This is one of those extreme rides (in my book) that spins you and centripetal force holds you in place. Major barf-fest if you ask me. I like the person with their arms raised as if to indicate they are ready to go.
I don't care how this does - I am really pleased with how it turned out and I love it!
I played with color balance, brightness contrast, resize, sharpen.

Michelle, I don't see this conveying extreme emotion. I think this might be a case where you expected viewers to react the same way you do, which is always a risky proposition. I happen to love thrill rides. :) But the problem for me was not getting much emotion from the people.
As an image apart from the challenge, thought, it's really fun. It has lots of little surprises scattered around, encouraging me to explore. And the colors are really pretty.
Cool picture. I am getting this real big "showgirls/redlight district" vibe, though that probably wasn't intent. Love the look and feel though. Terrific take on the challenge.
I know the emotion from graviton type rides, however here, I don't see any emotion. The arms that are up appear to be holding on and not waving. Waving would create emotion. I like the idea, its a nice capture all around, however the power-lines also just turn it blech.
I feel like their is an anticipation I can feel coming from the ride. I enjoy the colors and silhouettes but think perhaps it would have been stronger without the person on the right who is not on the ride. reminds me of childhood. :)
LOL......someone was already experiencing "extreme emotion" without the ride even working! Can't imagine what this person did while it WAS in motion! Or.....was this a "victory!...I made it through the ride!" type of expression?! LOL Nice dusk capture! Makes me want to go to a fair now.
