This image is straight from the camera, absolutely NO PS work was performed...just cropped and brightness levels adjusted.

Handheld, 1/8th sec shutter speed, zoomed lens with deliberate, calculated camera movement as I released the shutter.

Donald K. Cherry
  Thanks everyone for all the fabulous comments...I really appreciate each and every one of them!

For those of you wondering how I did it, I took about 75 shots using different shutter speeds varying from 1/8 to 1/30 sec, while zooming my Nikor 70-300mm lens (starting at the 70mm position) and using many different camera movements as I fired the shutter. I got several other pretty cool images, but this one was by far the best!

Thanks again!
