Hooray for you. You'll get a lot of views - yippee.

Very trashy, tasteless image IMO.

That is just a hoot. Not a fan of the pink border, but the floating lamp is hilarious. Remember A Christmas Story with the dad's prized leg lamp? ROFL

I get the idea of what you did here to make this picture fit into the challenge. However, it doesn't really address the topic, but simply fits a picture into the topic, without the picture benefiting from it. In other words, I get what you're doing, but I don't think it worked well for the picture or as an entry to this challenge.

As to the picture itself, from what I can see it is a moment "in between". There is movement, but not enough to make it a movement picture. There are still portions, but they aren't entirely sharp. The background doesn't ad much to the image, the foreground however is beautiful (the blowing up sand and the ground texture). It feels like an action picture waiting for action. I wonder if a slower shutter speed to increase the sense of movement would work, or if, on the other hand, freezing the motion entirely would make a nice contrast between the hovering helicopter and the blown up sand.
