I know it's tough to control the light streaks from the bottle, they aren't as graceful or captivating enough for me to be the main elements of your composition.
You have certainly exhibited that you know the technique of painting with light, however, I find little artistic value here. The commonplace and drab background and dark, undistinguished bottle summon the impression that this was little more than a hasty science experiment gone bad, or maybe fireworks out of control.
I love the light streaks. Don't like the background a whole lot. The light streak abstract on its own would do more for me. I don't like the vertical line in the middle of the piece.
There are few in this category that "appear" to have painted with ligh. You clearly have. The two trails going vertically, I think would have been better had they "followed the other" giving a more "volcanic" effect. Unfortunatly the background has become a little over lit and "samey". The table top and corner appear disruptive. This is one picture where I think a more cluttered background and obviously different walls may have worked. I think it may have shown something "really weired" happening to a bottle in an ordinary domestic ituation. I suspect you enjoyed trying this and I think you should have some more goes. Keep the technique - experiment with the background.

very imaginative - the light becomes the subject painting on our imagination. Wish the vase weren't so far in the corner - maybe better on the "thirds line' and the corner (the line in the center) is a bit distracting - a flat background would be better (or is the line an artifact of the light?)
