This was a family affair. I hung a flashlight on a string from the ceiling in the garage. Caden operated the wireless remote (on bulb), Laine was my off-camera flash stand, Jenn held up the black board to hide the lens after the flash fired and while I was getting the flashlight going, and I pulled on the string to raise it.

I am so surprised to see this one in 23rd place. It was clearly one of my favorites in this challenge. But it sounds like the quality time with your family: priceless!
I'm not sure having that bold border helps. It would if you didn't have the light streaks in it but since those are there I think it makes the crop feel too tight.
I find the fact that the light travels in front of the bottle/flowers a bit distracting but I highly enjoy the colors of the components. Also, the blue of that bottle is quite lovely.
Awesome. A classic idea, but it fits in nicely with this challenge. My only complaints are the glare on the bottle, and the shadow. I think it would benefit from a closer crop, but I'm not sure how that would work with the moving light. Well done.
