 Taken on my kitchen table, all lights out 30 sec exposure, a flash of light right in the center for about 1 second about 5 seconds into the exposure

I am really worried about this entry actually. I'm afraid people are going to think the vignette was illegal which its not! Vignettes don't have babies breath stickin out of them! It was all done with a flashlight :)

it was so hard to keep the light in one place, if I moved it the shadows cast would make everything look blurry. This is my first attempt to paint with light and I am very happy with the results

shadows highlights
crop a tiny bit
add border
save for web like two times cuz the file was too big

I really like the image and the objects ;-) I might be wrong, but did you add lens vignetting as an effect after the image was taken? If so, I am afraid it is against the basic editing rules...
