This photo will likely suffer 'does not meet the challenge' votes. The scene itself is quite interesting but there doesn't seem to be a moving light source that is being used to illuminate your subject. That being said, I think this would have made a strong black and white with a slightly longer exposure (maybe one stop or so) and if you had not used the on camera flash. You have mixed two different light temperatures in this image by doing that. This shot needs a tripod and no flash :)

This is a very evocative picture - and one I like very much but does not seem to satisfy the principles of "painting with light" - either a moving light source or long exposure with repeated illumination from different locations

Wow, I thought this would do MUCH better! I gave you a 7. Nice macro! :)

This might have been more interesting without whatever light source is blowing out the snow flakes in the foreground. On-board flash maybe?

My only suggestion would be to crop the lower part of this photo. The light is too white on the lower section.

I feel that one thing is missing:
Use a non-stationary light source as the primary method of illuminating your subject in a creative manner.

This almost works but the background totally distracts me.
