I'm glad some of you enjoyed my photo. I thought this crowd might appreciate the no-post-processing special effects. I have others from this series at //www.sethoscope.net/photos/s/globall
These two are my other favorites, also unprocessed:

Very interesting photo. First I was thinking time exposure with flash, then wondering if it's just a tube balloon. I'll go with the first and will look forward to your comments on how you did it. Nice angle taken down from above and nice lighting with shadows on the right.

Don't know how you did this but I like the POV and the color contrast between the streak of light, hair, jacket and shoes stand out very well. Good capture
