Wow, this is an excellent photo.. Can't believe it didn't win! Awesome colors, great sharpness, perfect composition, frame, etc. etc. etc. I'd like to know who the 7 a-holes that voted this under 4 were!
Congratulations, Gary! My daughter knew EXACTLY what this was (I didn't) during voting. I thought it was something from out of this world. Very nice.

Thanx for all the comments and votes. This was very easy to do, all I did was turned off all the lights in the room so it was completely dark. I put my finger on the glass of the plasma lamp so that the streams flowed more concentratedly and took some pics at a slower shutter speed.
@ Annie: We'll see about that :-) Congrats to you anyway, only 0.007 behind me.
wow, wow, wow... Another great shoot. Your last three challenge are brilliant. I am waiting to see your next shoot, I am sure it will be great...
Congrats, Gary, for another good work.
Take care,
Very, very cool! It does look like something you'd see in space. Very interesting shot, great color..I'd like to play with one of these things...looks like fun! 9 Rob the Swash
Ooooh, very nice. Excellent exposure, composition, border, colour and idea. Love it, nothing wrong with it, you'll win a ribbon or my name's mud. Thank you, frivolous Sharper Image purchase circa 1987.
Wow, what the heck is this? The colors in this shot is just amazing. I love how it glows. I guess my only suggestion would be to include the whole (ball) and not to crop the bottom off. But it still works the way it is.9.
Interesting title (though I'm not sure it fits the picture -- however neither did mine), and I'm amazed that he didn't get a reflection in the glass -- very well done.
Plasma balls are cool aren't they! I won a comp this week using one (photoforum.com). Nice clear shot! I found i got a more rounded shot by looking down on it from a higher angle and therefore no need to crop where it joined onto the pole. Still a great shot as the ball has a shiny snooker ball luster to it.
