was this accidentally submitted to the wrong challenge? I see no habit in the image or title.

should have used plackard or something to shade frosting so it wouldn't glare and look more chocolately.

great iguana image. very nice, indeed. car in background is distracting. stretching it to fit challenge. man, if that car wasn't there this would be national geographic caliber.

lots-o-noise. but it is a long exposure. sweet idea. probably just noisy because it is a cheap camera (like mine). great idea--poits there. execution was a little shaky--the light behind the head is distracting. head should have eclipsed it or else should have been composed outside of frame.

I like the lighting a lot. How it complements the colors of the subject matter. More attention could have been paid to the setup (noise or ash or something in the foreground--flecks on cup). Overall a great image.

Embers fell as the saucer descended on my evening stroll through the park

All right. Since there seems to have been mass confusion as to what the image really is...

I really was walking through the park in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, after dark with some friends. One of the parks that winds along the river. None of us had ever been to this particular park before. We turned a corner and there was this huge stainless steel park-type structure. It was shaped like a flying saucer with three support pilliars and some decorative metalwork coming up to it from the ground. It was illuminated with small blue and purple LEDs on the underside. There were also some recessed lights that were not turned on or burt out. It was part art part functional, serving as a large, tall gazebo over a water fountain. It was really random and surprised us all as it was so out of place and unexpected.

My camera (yes a crappy cheapo, I know) has a mode where it fires the flash but keeps the shutter open for night portraits. I used this mode, exposed the basic shape and form of it with the flash and then moved the camera to blur the lights. I think the results looked pretty cool, especially for a $130 camera (hey, it's pocketable!).

TEXTURES TEXTURES TEXTURES! Amazing! Forms and composition are great too. I like how the title could be interpreted many ways. All around great job.

Forms: excellent. Textures: appealing. Then the colors and tonal contrasts send this image to another level altogether.
