 This is a shot of 4 Ikea scented tea lights (orange and apple.. mmmm) sitting on a little table in their holders. The blur was achieved by standing directly over them, setting a 5 second exposure, shutter release and slowly zoom in. Magic. This was my fave of several similar shots.

pp. slight crop, Neat image, curves and colour adjustment, resize, sharpen and border.

Very nice! I like the way the light is more about movement and energy than just light. (That probably made about as much sense as this challenge.)

interesting, but I think it could be more engaging to have the lights not coming from the center of the photo

Small Candles? I like the leading lines and the handheld zoom effect.
