a little obvious perhaps, but i have a migraine at the moment and no energy for creativity...... hopefully you can "read" the image... a shout-out to my kid holding the wand... i told him not to move... but he did... and i kinda liked the motion-blur effect...

edited into submission in Lightroom, silver efex and colour efex...

Beautiful light, lovely tones. Great idea and well executed - like the motion blur, a bit 'izzy wizzy lets get busy-ish' like there is a spell being cast.
