if you close one eye, this shot seems to pulse; all light is drawn up from the base of the shot into the path of the marble, the brightest spot. this alone makes it amazing.
I cant believe this didnt take a ribbon. I think it was better then mine and overall just love this photo. I added this to my favorites first thing. Great shot!
Thanks for the nice complement, but your shot was my first choice as well.

The 'bowl' is a bit distracting, my eye is not sure of its purpose here.... A very serene shot. I like the impression of speed in the light streak/beam. Nice.
(It would be interesting to know how this was acheived)
I cannot imagine another photograph that conveys so much within the narrow limits of this challenge. It is so searingly 'modern', it should render anyone's critical faculties obsolete...
The balance, especially top to bottom > black vs. lighted, is immaculaty 'tuned' as if dictated by the piece itself, as opposed to any rules derived from the outside... (in lieu of words). >10
Very spacey, Tron-like. Has a certain 3D feel to it. Wonderful lighting, nice void in the background. I also like that the spinning top has a certian ghost-ness to it (ie prefer this rather than sharp focus).
This is just awesome. The lighting, background, focus... all awesome. This is a very unique idea and in my opinion, you pulled it off flawlessly. Very good job. 10
Really like this (top so far) and not the usual fayre. Nicely taken, slick design, and - you tried something different - hooray!! I'd hang this on my wall. ;-] [10]
I love this shot. I don’t know what it is but its my highest rated photo. Beautiful lighting and overall composure. I gave it an eight and would have given it a higher score if I could figure out what it was but either way I love it and will add it to my favorites as soon as i can. If you could please e-mail me what it is and how it was done. I am a big fan of long exposure shots and guessing think its possibly a flashlight being moved. Not sure what the ball is under the light point though. Great Job hope you win.
Can't wait to find out what this is. I sort of get "speed" out of it, but in a pretty abstract way. But I guess that's good enough. Definitely a slick looking shot.
