An excellent example of subtle painting with light - I gave it an 8 during the challenge - I would have gone even higher but I really didn't like the color that the flashlight gave to the rock.
It seems some commenters on your image think that painting with light has to be sharp laser point streaks in geometric shapes.

a great entry! Added to my Favs~ I was one of your 10s, think this isabsolutely lovely. Thecomposition is greatand the peace of the water, with the reflections and the light make this a WOW! Congrats on the Top 10 finish!
No flash, I used a flashlight throughout a 57 second exposure and it was nearly dark outside. I'd say I met the challenge better than most because I used a "non-stationary light source" to "illuminate my subject." Most people made the non-stationary light their subject.

Hmm. So did you light up the rock during the sunset? It's a beautiful shot, but I don't really think the rock being lit up adds any interest to the picture.
Absolutely beautiful ... well composed, perfectly exposed for both the rich silhouettes of the trees and the soft reflections in the water. The use of a flashlight (?) to brighten the rock adds foreground interest and pulls everything together. Anyone who questions whether this is painting with light is simply out of their mind.
Amazing compostion, reflection is nice, I like the atmosphere, great use of light painting. This is an excelent photo and I phope you are doing very well in the challenge.
I love the silhouetted trees in the background and the blues of the water. In my opinion, the lightpainted rock is taking my attention away from the best elements in the picture.
So unless you have one POWERFUL flashlight, I assume only the rock was light-painted :) It's a very beautiful image, but the rock isn't an interesting enough subject. Maybe take advantage of the "paint" part and try to light it up more creatively? A high score from me anyway.
