Two on the bounce is bad statistics :) They're both great pictures, though. As much as the DQs suck, I'd say you have priority #1 covered.

That's too bad about the DQ but this motion blur really gives this a cool effect! I love that moment captured. I may have to try this.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Used motion blur (twirl) in PSP to give it the effect. Anyway 2 dq's on the trot means I am either getting confused or just going senile. Thanks for your comments, they are always much appreciated. Special thanks to yo_spiff for making it a favourite.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy):

Positives: This is a really interesting effect which complements the subject matter perfectly. The monochrome treatment works - I imagine that colour would too but nonetheless I like this monochrome image. I like the way the image has a both abstract and real-world feel.

Critical stuff: I think there is a limited amount of interest in this scene but I think you have done a good job at capturing it in this photograph.

Overall: I'd be curious to a see a colour version but nonetheless this is an interesting and engaging image.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just looking at it makes me dizzy and want to throw up. Great emotive shot if you know what I mean. Great choice to use B/W tones.
