Pushing the envelope here. It's my son enjoying a latte, shot at an outdoor car show at twilight. I was walking slightly ahead of him. No trickery here, really, just some interesting effects from the longer exposure (just over half a second). Processing entailed an industrial strength contrast boost to bring out all the details followed by a tedious exercise in noise reduction.

Caffeine does that to me too! LOL! Nicely caught!

My eyes hurt :)
I think you've done well to get the detail out, and I like the link between the caffeine and the frenetic motion blur.

Abstract fits well with the caffeine idea. I love the intensity of the horizontal lines on his shirt, quite frantic. The color doesn't bother me. It's never a first-choice color, but it works here I think as it's an angry and energetic hue.

I am with Ken on this one. I do love experimental imagery. Blur is cool. The colors are not overly pleasing. I would like to see some separation in colors between his skin, his shirt and the background. I wouldnt mind seeing the original either to see what you started with.

I like these little experiments - you never know what you'll get. I think overall it works, but I'd dial back the orange a tad.
