 Well another WTF?! Image for DPC, Im pretty sure nothing else like this in the challenge. Actually I wanted to balance out the "black light" art collection (Hydro-Static, Shaped Ignition) with a different kinda spark.

Chrome cristmas ball, Aluminium tread plate sheet, Sparks from a grinder. Under a Black light, in duct-taped together mirror box, mylar tint over the camera lens hole. Turned into a rather time consuming set up. Adjust levels slightly, no crop.

5 - Difficult with abstracts, but perhaps a more finely tuned crop and trying to eliminate the upper reflection in the ball(?)(as the lower part seems good and 'interesting') make this even better in my opinion. Tweaking of the orange/colors too, especially for this Challenge.

Good job of contrasting the still with the dynamic and the dark with the light. The orange needs to be a bit more orange? (A bit too washed out to achieve the effect)
