 Taken near Mt. Palomar, California.
Didn't realize there was a "painting with light" challenge until I returned 24 hours later. The foreground was selectively lit using a 1 watt LED flashlight.
This shot was one of my favorites for the evening. I hope you like it.

nice night shot - the lighting on the trees adds some nice contrast to the image

Beautiful image. i know the challenge was "Painting With Light" and im sure you painted the 2 Trees with light and all, buuuut.... i think you Over Painted them :p... my attention is grabbed by the tree on the right. and it wants to stay there... i think you need to find a way to draw the viewers attention past the trees and more into the stary sky...
but thats only my opinion...
