Astute observers may recognize this place as the location for my much lower scoring that I expected Obvious Tripod entry:
This time I'm a bit further from the trees so that we can see the path curving along as I walked with a flashlight pointing at the center of the path. I'm not really expecting this one to do much better than the Obvious Tripod entry, but in both shots a learned a lot about light painting, especially with my dog constantly trying to ruin the shot.
Post Processing:

* Increase shadows (With high radius, high color correction, increase mid contrast, and low tonal width to help control the effect)
* Topaz DeNoise
* White Balance
* Increase exposure with lower vibrancy
* Noise reduction on the path
* Export as TIFF
* Resize
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG

Looks like the light of a ghost motorcycle. Cropping out the bear branches of the right side (distracts from the piece) would make this a pretty awesome post-card of a road trip.
