I love this; so subtle, delightfully composed, nice shadows and textures, and the painted light suits the image perfectly. 9

Excellent image, from conception through to execution. Good composition, and interesting textures that come out in the wall. Well done.

Even the flashlight shows off the prety colors

Something about this image just called to me from the first time I saw it; I thought at first it was under water, but the shades and clarity undermine that; in any event, I love the choice of objects here, and the use of the lighting to highlight them and draw in the viewer's attention, with lots to see here. Excellent image.

Each time I see this, I bumped it up another point. I thought I was done, but when I came back to write a comment, here I am, bumping it up again. At least now I can't bump it any more ;) I like this, though, for the wonderful feeling it evokes from effective use of the painted light technique. It feels clean and fresh. Wonderful.

Wonderful choices made here, with the horizontal lines the perfect way to paint these objects with light. Delightful.

This is one of the few "bright light" images that ranked at the top for me; the use of the sparks to backlight the kettle, but also including them coming out of the spout, was perfect. Lighting and composition appropriate to the subject, this is one of my top picks of the challenge.

I love the simplicity of this, with the painted light as an element but just one element of the whole image. Nice tones on the B&W, and good shadows and composition. One of my top picks.
