The last glimmers of sunlight were on the horizon and the sky was full of red and orange colors. I took some snaps without a tripod and got a few blurry photos, Then I did some experiements panning. Not much post processing, I just rotated the hue sixty degrees or so and adjusted the curves.

Ah, I wish I would've voted on this challenge. Would've helped out a little (one more higher score out of 233 total votes). Sorry I missed this one, but glad to see it now at least.

Well Steve, it was pretty good, but if you'd just included a yellow rubber ducky, a wooden puppet, a chess board and a brutally over-processed sky, this would have been perfect. Top ten for sure.

I love this. I don't know what it is that you actually photographed, but the result is an image that fits your title perfectly. 7

I find this a nice effect, but I feel that the image is lacking any strong subject or anchor point to keep me in the photo.

Very abstract...I usually find that when I get really "out there", the pics suffer with these voters....it only will take once or twice to learn that though! :) Good luck!

Pretty sweeping colors but it doesn't have the pizazz that really captivates the viewer. Maybe if there were a single object with some movement as well??? I do love the deep dusty purple hues though.

I'm sure you had a long exposure to get this, but it still needs some subject in the photograph. Something to compare the "polar winds" to. Something stable so your photo is not just a big blur.

As an abstract photo this is one of the nicer ones but don't really see how it fits the challenge (not to say that it doesn't). For a long exposure it would be nice to see what the actually image is and try and guess how the photographer tried to do it. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

Beautiful - I don't know what I am looking at. Aw well, still beautiful.

Sort of an eerie feeling to this. The brightest line runs right through the middle and I'm finding my eye keeps going back to it.
