 Neon lamp. spot lights from electronic devices (watch, mobile phone, light pointer).
16sec exposure,
despeckle, levels, crop, resize
The idea was to combine an old neon lamp with some lively colors of electronic devices to give an impression of glow. Hope you like it.

i'd like this more if the angle was a little more pronounced and if it wasn't quite so dark. this looks like it could be a cool shot if the colors weren't so subdued.

This would look much better, in my opinion, if the light was suspended over a black bg, in the same position with the lamp glowing from the lights you used. It's a nice shot, but the stray color on the ground makes it appear muddled (Again, in my opinion) Also, I'd try and avoid the reflections on the end of the tube

I like the idea of this pic.....focus and DOF are right on â€Â¦. I don’t know if its possible or not as I have never tried but more light/brighter in the foreground would be a definite asset

This is an interesting abstract. I can't help thinking the black cap (or whatever it is) intererrupts the flow a bit. I think if it was a solid black circle---if it didn't have the glares and the line bisecting it, it would form an interesting coil or swirl shape accenting the green. That is a problem which is easily fixed with the clone tool, once the challenge is over.
