Glass of LA tap water (why it sparkles, I will never know). Taken with flashlights (with colored celophane). I left the shutter open and used the flashlights to paint each half of the glass. I then adjusted the curves and brightness/contrast. I could not use spot editing or I would have removed the dots you see. I have to figure out if they are on my lens or mirror! eeek.

I really like this shot. Obviously you can't clean up little spots because of te Basic rules, but I do think that a brighter light source would have made this photo stand out a bit more and helped clean up some of the BG noise. But I like the idea and the photo came out very nice. Good job!
this is a lovely shot. i'm not enTIRELY sure about the choice of lurid green, but it's all been captured very wall. it's a pity you're not allowed to clone out the dust spots though - i bet you were itching to get rid of them! i like the off-centre setting, makes it more interesting. 6.
Very good idea for the challenge. The red and green lights are nice. Somehow though, the picture seems to have gotten kind of muddy, especially at the bottom.
