Fast lense or effect. I think effect.

Nice use of lensbaby, like the vivid colours.

You may have received DNMC's but your entry fits the spirit and 1st looser definition of the word symmetry perfectly. I'm just not a fan of the lensbaby effect on your shot.

Making Music Together

This sure brings back some old memories, good ones. Thanks.
Stage lighting is always tricky, esp if it is changing as the program goes along. The white on the flute music sheet is right on the money, so I am guessing that the colors are just about true to what was actually there at the moment.
I notice that the percussionist in the top right is the only one making eye contact with the director.

This looks like something out of a dream. May not be accepted well by the voters here, as it doesn't exactly meet the challenge. Regardless, I love it and I'm giving it an 8.

providing a simple metaphor to the fall, the blur provides a sense of energy and vitality to this image

Thanks for all of the comments. This photo isn't too far from what it looked like and the original capture. Levels brought up the shadows some, but the color was left alone (no saturation boost) - it was truly an amazing scene! I really liked the way the valley in the lower-left was illuminated by the rising sun.
