Very interesting and quite stunning. I love the combination of the blurred white lights with the botanical aspect of the leaves. Really a pretty shot.

The detail is stunning and the lights are very mysterious (I'm not quite sure what to make of them, but it's a beautiful shot). (9)

Now this is pretty cool, gotta love painting with light. I gave it a 9, I love pretty much everything about it except 2 things. The bottom leafs should either be in the frame or out of it, not half in as it is now and the big lights that have burned out highlights take too much attention but other than that, perfect. I especially like the lines that make up the backround.

nice image, good color scheme. maybe a soft white light from the front to take the shadows or make them not take away from the pic.

Interesting use of light rays making sort of a grid pattern.

Great image that actually meets the challenge...at least in how I read the rules...the light painting is really beautiful, the way it touched the foliage, the pattern behind...completely creative! 10

This shot has me really curious as to what the light source is. I hope you'll explain later. Very interesting. Good luck in the challenge!
