Seeing physics at work
right in front of you: Priceless.
The hardest part is to aim the lasers and to light the whole thing with a flashlight while blowing smoke to make the lasers visible, and hitting the camera remote at the same time.
I know it would be better composition-wise if light was coming from the left. Didn't think about it at the time.
Basic and trivial post processing. I wish it was advanced editing, so i could clone out the glare from the lasers in front of the lens.

interesting image, quite sure it was not too easy to set up. unfortunately, without the title, i'd see no tie to the challenge. also, the hotspot on the lens is somewhat distracting.
Very nice interpretation of authority. I never thought about the laws of nature. I know you couldn't help that, but the light on the bottom on the right side doesn't fit into the composition. I don't like the dark backgound because the lens is dark too. But there's no other way to show the laser, except if you used some smoke. You might have used a cigarette. I don't want to encourage you to smoke, though!
Very good shot as well as a nice play with physics!
Most people do not understand what light will do when it passes through the various optics in a lens.
