Greetings from the Critique Club!
Welcome to DPChallenge and congratulations on making your first challenge entry. (The first one's always the hardest.)

On first view, this image strikes me as a graphical illustration more than a photograph. Yes, I know, that it was written with light...but perception is stronger than fact. The only thing that tips it toward the "fact" are the appealing star patterns on the points of light and the tops of the numbers 2 and 7. Beyond that there's not much that differentiates it from a drawing.

Clearly shooting for the challenge you've taken a literal (if numerically incorrect) approach. Voters do often hold the challenge topic in high regard, but not just the challenge topic....now you know. Perhaps applying this same technique to an interesting, meaningful and dimly lit background would have carried the idea a step farther?

I hope you will continue to work at the craft of photography and enter more challenges! DPC is a great place to play and learn!

Regards, Kadi

Good use of painting with light. That must have been a little tough to get right. Still, I feel like it needs something more to really make a statement. Perhaps more flare like on the ...'s at the end.
