  Melissa, I like these even better than the previous (similar) shot! This one has more "motion" to it; you can almost see it whirl! Love the composition, too. I agree, we should be seeing this again!

Wow, great control and mastery with this one, particularly with envisioning the composition in terms of the light trails created by the extended shutter speed. As always, you've created a great piece of work.
