Cloned out some distractions to the bottom left and directly under the wheel. Used basic editing such as curves, levels, saturation, and brightness.

Just so everyone knows I am really dissapointed in the results of this shot. I did not perposely do the title incorrectly I just skimmed the description because I was so busy all week working the fair that I took this at that I didn't realize I needed to do it. I litterally was at this fair all night every day and seen the challenge on my phone and thought this would be a great shot for the challenge. Got home and uploaded and submitted it dead tired and waited for the voting to start.
I hate that I missed it because I really think this shot could have done better.

Rule of thirds, long exposure, and I'm not sure about the third one. Could be several. I'm sure you are already getting slapped with DNMC's for forgetting to list your 3 techniques. I won't add to it.
I'm sure your are getting repromanded for not titling this with your three techniques, but since I goofed on my own entry, I'm letting it slide with the challenge and only vote on technical/artistic quality. That being said - I give you an 8.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure you're regretting the title so I won't hammer on that. I see for the challenge: rule of thirds, blur, long exposure. Well done on using 3 techniques. Even so, I think the image is nice but doesn't move me in any way emotionally, so a 6 from me.
