Any Photoshop tricks here? I don't think any exposure would allow the circle effects...

Thanks for the comments everyone. Just for the record, I did use photoshop to blur the background, but the radial blur did not blur the writing on the curtain behind them enough so I added a circular blur centered on the flyer and it really brought out her motion.
Because it was a competition, I could not use a flash, not to mention being too far away. I love the sense of urgency that the lower girls give you to look up at the flyer. Thanks again everyone.

Great shot! Love that you took a not so perfect lighting situation and turned it into something so interesting. The blur is very effective and I, too love the look of anticipation on the girls faces and body language below! Congrats! -Debbie

Just to show how busy and poor the original shot was, here is the original. I was almost too embarassed to show the original. As you can see, not my best work. The after is much better.

Thank you all for your positive support. That is what makes Better Photo such a great site for learning and sharing this wonderful craft. I would also like to share the intemediate stage of this photo. It was good at this point but lacked punch. I could have stopped here, but felt it needed something else. My point is that you should not be afraid to experiment. You never know where you might end up. Best regards to all of you. Scott
