Taken about 20 minutes before the challenge deadline. More painting w/ light. I didn't expect this to do as well as it did but THANKS for all the great comments and votes. I've got something planned for the next go around. ;)

cool idea. I think this would have been stronger if you had controlled the light splash a bit better and if the streaks went in more similar directions. The cropping is also awkward, and there is a lot of dead space on the left.
Nice job with the lightpainting but the rest falls a little short, the wignetted lighting isn´t really appealing to me and the image could juse some more sharpness. Above average in the challenge, I gave it a 6.
I know the traditionalists won't like this one, but I love the light effect coming out of the wrapper... curious to read your "how you did it" testamonial.
