It's an interesting subject but for my personal tastes I think there is too much obvious editing that distracts. Granted it's not the worse editing job I've seen, but I think the better editing is when it isnt so obvious.
The concept you went for is good but I don't really care for the effects added in, the swirl around the edges really is distracting to me. A 5 to start
cool shot...will be looking forward to seeing how this one was done when the challenge is over...like the colors, and the border works well with this one too.
