Commentary:
Lighting is the best thing about this photo in my oppinion. The picture is a bit grainy.for my taste. I think this photo would fit a better theme. I do not see motion depicted in this shot. Maybe I am blind. Sorry to be so critical. At least there is a prtion of the photo that is in Focus. That is more than I cna say for some of the submissions.

the two lights above their heads sets the scene. this looks like it was difficult with the man farther back than the woman, making it hard to get both in focus with a wide aperature to get enough light. if you had the aperature wide open then there is not much more you could do to get them both in focus except move to where they both were about the same distance from the camera. very nice shot, shows emotion and i can almost hear the beat and music.

I like this edit better than the DeviantArt version. This is brighter and the color comes out better. Very nice job! I've seen quite a few concert photos, most don't turn out very well, this did. With minimal lighting, you stopped her hair in mid swing. Mary looks very sharp and crisp. I'm going with a 9 here, but might change my mind for a 10. Very nice! Swash

Let me improve upon my previous comments:

COMPOSITION/CONTENT: Very interesting and unique blue glow over the hot tub. The two lights on the right side of the piture are what my eyes see first, since they are a contrasting color and are in a dark background. With cropping them out, this photograph becomes an excellent work and completely different. With cropping, the blue glow becomes a halo, with the center of the halo over Jennifer's head, making the blue and Jennifer the focal point of the picture rather than the lights on the right. With cropping this picture gets an 8 or 9 from me.
BACKGROUND: would benefit greatly with the right side cropped.
CAMERA WORK/TECHNICAL: unique and creative use of exposure to create the blue glow over the hot tub.
DIGITAL PROCESSING/TECHNICAL: does not need post processing other than crop.
MY OPINION: By looking at this photograph a second time, I have learned to look closer at the photographs that I am commenting on and that making comments on a first glance doesn't do anybody justice. You have a very creative and excellent photo that would have scored much higher with one little tweak. Great job!

Great choice of subject...and nice capture. I might trim a bit of the pic at the top..seems like there could be a bit too much space above their heads. Good job! 8

I don't think the 30 second exposure part of the title was necessary. byetko.

That's a cool effect, though the composition could be better.
