| Interesting glass flower. There is nothing in this shot to indicate to me that the light source was moving. |

Nice symetrical reflection, cropped nice and tightly - however I will paste in some comments I have added to a considerable number of pictures in this category.

My only concern is, as you may have guessed from the amount of discussion on the forum re "painting with light" is whether it is painting with light.
Having been lucky enough to judge what is now a few hundred competitions in the last 30 years I feel I should say the first thing that happens is that they are sorted and any that do not immediatly seem to fit the category are dumped (hard but a fact). This is why so many competitions also run an "open category". Your picture, as impressive as it is, would, I feel have been rejected at this stage. "Painting with Light" has a fairly tight definition in photography but still allows a lot of lattitude for creativity.
I suspect that your scores may not reflect what the picture is worth which is a great shame. I believe if I was judging in another category I would have gone higher.
I do hope you understand my reasons for marking it down

| Here's a suggestion - use a star filter. That way, the overblown highlights would add some extra dynamic to the shot. |
