For those who asked...

The vortex was created by a pair of lights inside a plastic ball on a string which my son (Zoomdak on DPC) swung around as he walked slowly away during the 30 second exposure at midnight on the north coast of Oregon in Cannon Beach.

Thanks for your comments and votes!

I can´t for the life of me figure out how this shot is taken but that doesn´t meen that I like it, the "vortex" is very disorienting and not really aesthetically pleasing, I get slightly dizzy looking at this shot. Still, I appreciate the effort so I gave it a 6.

Incredible! very interesting effect.

how the bloody hell did you do this?? it's very clever... the only reral criticism i have is that the lights from the buildings are a little blown, but that's relatively minor. the vortex itself is genius, and the reflections in the water are very pleasing. impressed. 8.

Wonderful approach to this challenge.

Pretty cool effect. My guess as to how it's done - a flashing light on a string, with someone twirling it walking along (backwards?).
