After a bit of hesitation I decided to enter what I thought was the safest idea to meet the challenge. Although it's not my cup of tea, I think it turned out well.
Editing was simple enough with Raw conversion adjustments and the merging of 4 shots which were sequential and in layers erasing the bits from each that overlapped. Hue and Sat adjustment and a little lightening via dodge and the regular levels and curves adjustments. Oh yes and some blurring in overlay mode for a smoother look with some minor cloning for the tiny flaws etc.
As an aside. I think this week's controversy over what's legal in this challenge was troubling. Some very nice people got shafted IMO and I lay the blame squarely on SC's shoulders for this one. If you're going to implement anything new, then do your homework first and save alot of very busy people alot of wasted time.

Very simple, yet powerful. One part of the world can move two others. The only thing I would critique is the flash shows in the bulb and the shadows below it.
I realize the idea here and love it but the image hardly portrays "motion". But not to worry, that's alright though! I'll still give it an 8. Nice sharp detail. BB
it's very hard to discern that this is a time lapse photo. it could easily be mistaken as stop motion, i think. also something about how it looks from the bottom half of the balls down does not seem right. it was a good idea.
Technically very good. I also love the subtle, yet vibrant color. I can't really think of anything to improve this, except maybe getting rid of the glare on the balls.
There's a lot to like about this photo. I do wish that it wasn't so close cropped, to at least see the top of the cradle. Very appealing as it is though.. I like it a lot.
