Fitting title. I probably would have cropped the left side some more. That circular shape would look better in a square crop, IMO.

I have no idea what this is, but it is facinating, which is more than I can say for 99% of the entries.

Very, very creative... I love the post-processing and the fitting title. I don't know how DPC-friendly this is, but this deserves a high rating for the creativity. Well done!

I will be interested in seeing your shutter speed on this one - how you managed to capture dots of light rather than streams. Excellent timing!
