		I would be worried about the paint...  As a matter of a fact, I would be surprised if this didn't mar the clear coat...  Polymers + Burning embers (sometimes magnesium in sparklers...)... = Not so good...
 
 Still, A WONDERFUL image... I'd love to do this, but I don't know if I would feel comfy with the paint being hit by burning chunks of crap..
 
 I'm adding this to my favorites, and keeping you away from my cars.. |

		Awesome job Brad! Congrats on the well deserved ribbon. Really cool photo.
 
 ( I think your version is much better than the original. Your sparkler trails define the edges of the car much better. Great job!)

 Thanks for the link to the shot that inspired you - the one area in which I think it beats your own version for me is the way the light from the sparklers also makes the car itself visible - one can see the door, the registration plate, the radiator grill and the body of the car...
 
 That said, I like the way your sparkler lines are thicker and show more of the flying sparks than the original version.

 And this a FAR superior car of course :-) |

		| Damn! That is so freakin' awesome. Major congratulations on the Blue. I like how someone thinks sparklers are natural light, and voted a 1. And props to Jon for having the stones to let you get that close to his ride with fissionable material. :-P |

		| I like this. Kind of like the light painting Ben Willmore (Where is Ben) does. I suspect you did it with a sparkler to give the sparky effect, which I like. I'm glad you put a horizon line in. |

		| A quite impressive effect has been achieved and it has been well performed. Only the shade of light at the left back is somewhat disturbing. From a phptografic point of view I am less impressed, but based on this study you could make a sparkling advertisement. I rate this high because I never saw something alike before. |

		I am sure you used sparklers...I was going to do something with sparklers and people but got lazy. I look at this and I'm definitely going to do something with sparklers the next time around when light is the subject.
 
 I think you did an amazing job here. I predict a blue or a close tie to a blue with one other entry I like as blue. If not, then most definitely a red.
 
 Good luck!! |

		| great idea! I hope you didn't ruin your paint. The magnesium and other metals that burn on a sparkler, shoot off at about 3000 degrees.  I hope you clay bar it after that shot =) |
