 Post Challenge: Well, I guess I submitted this to the wrong challenge. I absolutely love this photo. To me, it conveys a sense of speed via the composition of the photo. Sure, the subject is not innately related to speed, but I thought this was a good abstract representation of motion/speed. Oh well.

In case anyone is wondering what the subject is, it's a night photo of a car driving by while I slowly moved the camera in the pattern of the dark line. Then, during the same exposure I slowly blurred the light from open car doors in the lower left of the frame. It came out far better than I was expecting.

Post processing included cropping, inverting the image, pretty strong curves, and upping the saturation.
