Taken during a 4 minute exposure, black card and cloth for base/ background. Flash fired off background through glass for glow. Torch moved around to create patterned light.

Damn DPCers, this is a really nice shot. Guess people can't understand it... nice flash control, i am sure that took a while to get it right with the slow exposure.
absolutely awesome, i do however wish that there was some alternate color going on here. all blue has me wishing there were some accents of some sort - 8
I had this one at a lower score originally, but just had to pull it up to a 9 after looking at that light trail a few times. :) I really like this picture for it's high interest value. Any picture that makes me look twice deserves a high score in my book!
I think the light squiggle is a little too much and it detracts from the photo, though it does add interest. I think it might have been better if you only had the portion of the squiggle that's in the vase and not continued above it. I don't know how much control you had over that though. Still, an interesting photograph and good lighting and exposure.
cool shot.... I think I would prefer it without the dancing fireflies though..... also, not sure about the surface you have the vase on, IMHO it would look better if this was completely flat... good luck Todd.
i love laser pointers (I'm assuming that's how you did this). nice shot. not too many distracting hot spots on the glass like many of the others I've seen so far.
Nice solid shot. I like the effect with the light, I also like the shades of blue that are present in the shot. I thihnk a white border would have added a bit of contrast to this shot so it wasn't quite so overwhelmingly blue. THe shot is crisp and clear and meets the challenge well. Good job.
