 Shot in my backyard. My friend wrapped up in christmas lights fell over and i decided to do a long exposure(30 seconds) and light him up as he layed down. I changed the contrast to a pretty extreme measure to give it a surreal look and cropped the picture.

Interesting, like the firey colors but I'm not sure what it means.

Very bizarre. But I like the way you think... Unfortunately, I just think that you should have gone for a more abstract angle. Right now, this comes across like a photo of a person in a motorcycle helmet, with christmas lights on him. Rather than the "alien" concept that I know you were going for. Maybe a much tighter crop from a weird angle would have made the subject less recognisable, and therefore more mysterious.
