Extra Q: Please share an interesting or funny fact that happened while working on this photograph.
Funny fact is that when it's getting abstract it's getting hard to identify. I like showing details not being really obvious or recognizable. For example, in this picture a Sea anemone is shown instead of a flower. It's a creature!

I've taken shots of every other light source in the house, so now I'm trying to work my way through objects that diffuse or refract light as well. This shot was a logical progression in terms of the continuing exploration of the concept of 'light painting'.

Extra Q: Please share an interesting or funny fact that happened while working on this photograph.
The only vaguely amusing anecdote from this shot involves the (fairly common) occurrence of my wife sticking her head around the door and quickly replacing the initially baffled expression on her face with a rolling of the eyes and a vague sigh, then closing the door without a word.
