Challenge: Halloween IV (Expert Editing)
Camera: Sony Alpha a55
Lens: Sony DT 30mm f/2.8 Macro
Date: Oct 31, 2012
Aperture: f22
ISO: 100
Shutter: 6 sec

 We decorated our workspace for Halloween by attaching a flock of black construction paper cutout bats to the ceiling. It was impressive.

I did a couple of trial comps with the bats, but they didn't satisfy.
.
Then it rained, & I got some nice light trails, one of which added some nice detail.

I combined them all together, experimenting w/blending modes until I got something that satisfied.

I enjoy doing these & look forward to entering them in Expert edting challenges. I hope you enjoy!
