Greetings from the Critique Club!

Welcome to DPC! I see that this is your first entry in a challenge...that's the hardest part, entering for the first time.

The image fits the challenge and the title adds a bit of humor and dimension. I like the way you played with light-writing to create the subject...it really feels like Pi has been branded on the wood wall.

Unfortunately the focus feels soft and since your aperature was small enough to create a large depth of field I can only guess that either the camera support shook during the exposure or something else mysterious happened to create the blur.

A square crop might have helped to emphasize the circle in your composition since the black areas at top and bottom don't add to the story.

Overall, a fine first photo to enter! Don't let the scores discourage you...DPC voters are harsh critics and a "6" is considered fairly awesome here.

Keep shooting!

Apparently a time lapse photo with a penlight but it looks much like glowing electrical elements. Good job.
