Great capture. Would be better with some motion blur, though.

very creative! I would've liked part of the arm to be visible, too.

If the shot was more shapr and cropped more tight, it would be much stronger

Very creative! Let me guess: the picture rotated 90deg CCW?

Thanks so much! it's nice to get this from the blue ribbon in the challenge!

In the hindsight, I probably should've dodged and burned it to increase the "punch", but somehow I wanted to preserve a subdued tone of this photo.

Thanks to all other commenters, too. always appreciated.

Actually, I also thought there would be at least several other Big Bangs in the challenge (not as similar as yours, of course :)) - so I was quite surprized that mine was the only one.

OMG!!! How embarassing!
I wouldn't believe such a coincidence - but I swear I did not see this shot! Well, I guess great minds think alike :). But why didn't you submit it, or , for that matter, anything?

Regarding one "faith-based" coumment - i did not expect this photo to be "controversial" (unlike my earlier entry), but apparently it was - look at the histogram of votes and the number of 1, 2's, and 3's! I think it is wrong to judge people beliefs in a photo contest - but what can you do....

Anyway, I am sorry if my photo offendend anyone, it did not mean to.
And of course - thanks to all for many very nice comments! Always appreciated.

better focus and cropping could improve it a lot
