 Grandson Robbie in my yard. My son Robert moved behind him with a light stick on a string after the leading flash. Hand held.
Processing, iPhoto 08; crop, levels, noise. Copy to Graphic Converter for resize and save for upload without side files.
Wow, Thank you everyone for the comments and votes. I thought that this would get the "Brown" for sure when voting started. I should have had better judgment than to put it in "Leading Lines", but I didn't think that they would have to be straight lines.
Also, be reminded that you cannot legally remove red eye in a basic edit challenge, as a couple of the comments suggested.
Once again, thank you all. I will be back with better shots soon.

While I immediately get the spirit of the picture (really great job on that btw) it does not feel chaotic enough to be a sugar buzz. Maybe with some motion blur or the kid not looking at the camera. Also the red eye kills me. Other than that, great job at using imagery to project a mood

If you fed him that much candy, I hope you had to deal with getting him to bed that night! Decent comp, but the flash is unflattering and you overlooked removing the red eye.

This looks like a snapshot rather than thought out photography, accept I know it can be difficult to get the painting with light thing. I think cropping and redeye removal would help the photo.

I think a tighter crop might have worked better here

The lines don't really lead me in, they just look like abstract color in the background. Lighting is a bit harsh with straight-on flash.

For me this didn't meet the challenge. It's a fun picture though.
