Radio Dial on my desk at work. Used Super Macro mode on the S9000 that allows focus at 1cm distance. Taken in complete darkness with one led about 6 feet away.

Kind of a cool digital art piece. I wouldn't say it's a stand out in this particular challenge-- just because I think others used the 30 seconds more effectively, but it doesn't make this photo any less of a work of art. Things like this really stand out to me. You are seeing things from a different point of view, and I like that. Great job.
this is an odd choice of subject matter for a challenge such as this; can't really see any reason for the 30 second exposure here. voters like a bit of obviousness when it comes to complying with the challenge. it's a reasonable macro, though. 4.
Sorry, but this image doesn't do anything for me at all, the subject isn't of interest, the composition is ok but not great, and it looks like you've treated the 30 second aspect as a technical difficulty to work around with a steady tripod, rather than an opportunity to do something different to a short exposure.
