I'm hoping to beat my best ever score with this..... it's hard to tell though... I guess I can but try!
*crosses fingers*
EDIT: 22/12 POST CHALLENGE
To answer Jems question of how I did it:
SET UP: I cut out a brightly coloured page from a magazine (advertisement for a bottle of perfume I think). This was used as the background... what you see as pink and blue.
I then used sand and shell dust as my "star dust".
I cut out a star shape from a magazine.... and et volia....... Star of Bokeh!
I saturated and sharpened, cropped and resized..... oh, and I played with the levels a bit.
Ooh, and it was lit from the right handside by a desk lamp!
COMMENTS:
Thank you for them all. It's wonderful to read through them, and I love receiving constructive criticism - we are all constantly learning.... my advice to any photographer who gets upset by constructive criticism or comments is: take a step back and realise that we're helping, not ripping your image apart when we comment :)
Happy Christmas!

This is a really good idea for a picture. It is hard to understand, which leaves the mind room to wander...but it would be nice if you could tell a little more about it. Good work on lighting and position though!
