 I don't expect this to do to well but I like this a lot. Taken at an opening of a show for my brother's girlfriend. Taken with my G9 and I used a slow shutter and just rotated the camera as I took the picture. I wanted a bit of a vortex/ radial blur effect. This was the first shot taken and I knew right away I was going to enter this. From someone who has had a panic attack this is what it feels like, total choas and loss of control. They are very irrational and unexpected, which is the worst part. I have managed to get a handle on my attacks but this reminds me of some of those dark days. I feel for anyone who has had these and you are no alone. A 5 will be pushing it with this image but never the mind!

I'm glad that this did better than you expected. I thought you conveyed the message pretty clearly (it makes you dizzy just looking at it!) and it was a good fit for the theme.

Blurry, chaotic, engaging Good job I give an 8 and may bump up on further review. Nice range of tones. The colors could pop a little more. Upon further review I am bumping this up 1 point.

I like the radial blur effect, and the dreamy, psychadelic feel of it.

The wobblyness works well here, a little too much white at the bottom right maybe
