I just wanted to see if I could get a good light pattern from my daughter's toy fan. It has LED lights that change pattern every couple seconds. I went to my laundry room and set it up on a chair covered in black t-shirts and just started shooting for fun. This was my favorite shot .

I'm sure, it was hard for you... first entry and your first free study...
It's a nice pic, interesting play with lighting and colors. But if you like to get a better score, is this not a good idea for free study. It's not enough DPC-friendly, IMO
Thanks for the comments. I'm glad it wasn't last place, although I thought it might be. I just wanted to get into a challenge. Mission accomplished. Now I have a better idea what to do for the next one. Good job to everybody else who entered this challenge.
Good color and well cropped/framed, and I do see the smile in the middle. There's a bit of graininess in the dark areas (on my monitor - probably not noticeable on lots of others). Overall, other than the novelty of the smilie, though, it lacks anything to hold the viewer.
Took me a second to spot the smile. A daring shot to put in a free study - I think it could do with a little more contrast to really blacken the blacks and make the colours jump out a bit more. Noise reduction wouldn't hurt either.
