Thank you, everyone, for your comments! Sonny, I used the same technique as in my Eligible image, although I may not have actually rotated the camera in a circle. For this shot, the room was fairly dark, and I set the lights to one of the special modes, like intermittant, so they came on and went off during the exposure. I thought the result was interesting; some of the design is very close to Japanese kanji (written characters). Helen

I love this, Helen. It's abract, yet it conveys the message very well. It's truly and "Out Of The Ordinary" image. BTW, how'd you do that?

I like this 'painting with light" technoque. Gotta try that sometime. The closest I came to that yet was hand-held 2-sec exposures for fireworks ;-)

Helen, this makes a great abstract and a wonderful greeting, especially with your chosen text. I love the multi-colored designs formed by the lights and motion. The dark, blurry glow in the background is nice too; & the orientation of your text is really appealing. Nice one. MFC
