 I thought of what embodies motion the most in my life, and that would have to be my boyfriend's 5 and 6 year old girls. I set up my camera on a tripod in our parking lot, and gave the girls some of those colorful light sticks that are available around Halloween-time. My only instructions to them were to dance and spin, and that they did.

The colors are beautiful but I just don't think there is enough in the composition to really see what it is... it's really just some fancy colors.

Very nice. Not sure about the crop or positioning, but the effect is very interesting.

For me, an excellent capture. I would suggest some noise reduction in PP, though.
