Raw converted in capture, curves, colour, sharpness and contrast in capture before opening in photoshop.
Levels, colour layer, dodge, burn in ps. As I didn't have a tripod I had to lean against the wall to try to keep the camera steady and the shot had to be straightened out a bit wish meant cropping it too afterwards. Usm and save for web.

Critique Club Review:

Technical: Fits the challenge well. The girl, as some of the comments state, might be taken as the subject. However, there is so little of her, and with the motion blur, I would say that the challenge is still well met. Focus and depth of field are good. Overall exposure is good. Lighting and contrast are well done. If anything, the color patch on the wall in the backgound is a little bit bright for my taste, and distracts a bit from the rest of the picture.

Artistic: A very good job, and about the only thing that I see that could be off, is the picture looks a tiny bit off level, as it seems to lean to the right just a bit.

Your timed exposure works very well here, as the areas around the arches and above and to the left of the girl are a bit smeared which lends a neat "ghostly" or dream like effect to this picture. Had you used a tripod, this effect might not have occured, and I think the picture would have not been quite as good. Nice job!

The girl in the background is like a ghost and her pink dress or shirt add to the mystery in the otherwise dark surroundings. Perfect for this challenge in my opinion! Another thing I really enjoy in this picture is the ceiling, because of its shimmery and interesting lines.

Beautiful composition. Hate to say it but there the subject is, escaping though she may be:) Still a seven from me on this quite artistic capture.

creative interpretation of the challenge, but also a literal fulfillment of the challenge. the eye is drawn to the "subject" but then immediately drawn out of frame, or the eye relaxes and takes in the lovely shapes of light in the overall composition. 10

Nicely exposed image, but having a person in the frame, even a partial person, creates a subject for the eye to fix upon which will almost always dominate the composition.
