 Was taking my daughter for a modelling shoot spinning on her new bike, when she just fell asleep on the way. Damn, but I didn't want to waste the opportunity. If only I'd had my infrared filter with me ! Oh well...

Open in Rawshooter. Press Alt-E. Turn fill light up very high - about 96% I think. Save as TIFF. Tone map in Photomatix. Open in PSP. Crop, resize twice to make a border, USM. Save.

one of the most memorable images in this challenge. a great example of when excessive post-processing makes an image come alive instead of just being there for its own sake. 10

This is a really bizarre photo, more nightmare than dreamland. Probably not your intention.

personally, I don't care for the processing you used ... also doesn't convey 'spinning' to me

That is hilarious. A priceless shot worth more than any ribbon you could get on here!

Looks like curves or something was used a little too heavily but I kind of like it as it helps emphasize the "dream" quality.

this is unrelated to the challenge, and does not appear to even be a photograph.

Her cheek must be glued to the handlebars. ;) Really neat angle.

This is an awkward image. The helmet seems to be to large for the image. Nice Try but kind of confusing.
