 Shot in the kitchen with candles and sparklers. This shot was taken just befor the whole thing fell off the gravy pot on which it was standing and very nearly set fire to the backdrop.

My girlfriend Linda aka HorseMadGirl did the sparkler work

Great eyebrow carving. Gives Jack a bit of a wicked look!!! I like the light painting with the sparkler. Overall, a cool shot. Good work on the exposure levels/processing. Nothing looks over-exposed.

Loved the swirling light. Very well executed. You took a simple carving and created an awesome image by surrounding it with interesting compositional items. Nice job.
