Hoping for an exact even number score with this one - my prediction is 5.0000000000000000 ;)
It's inspired by the much-favorited Fantasia by Gordon, with some obvious changes.
This took a lot more work than it appears - probably close to 200 takes, with my wife and I both trying our best freehand light-painting cursive and I ended up going with one of mine, which according to my wife the cursive is horrible and I should go back to 2nd grade, but it's the cleanest photo.
The light sources were an electric candle with red glass crayon all over the bulb, and briefly an LED flashlight to light up the paintbrush. I went with a custom white balance and red color shift, with saturation and contrast punched all the way up, in the camera settings.
Editing was resize and sharpen and save.
Edit - oh, no kidding, 4th. I wasn't even expecting top 10 with that score and with a lot of the other photos I gave 8's and 9's to in voting.

Nice idea and an execution to match. Awesome.
For this challenge, i wandered around the town looking for graffiti with the text red (црвено to be precise :-) written/painted in red, but couldn't find a good one. Light painting never came to mind.
The blown highlights in the brush tip are a bit distracting, but only a bit.
