cool lighting

it was actually another lighter that has one of those neon red lights on the end shining through the clear lighter

Good one!

fantastic lighting author...well done

How can one compete with this?
Sigh.................I feel humiliated...
Nevertheless I found one error: at night time, there should have been stars in your blue city....

Wow, cool job. I've never tried light painnting but I imagine getting an image as precise as this took a few tries! This must have been a pretty long exposure to give you time to draw all that too.

lol.

There is no need to feel humiliated cocor.
I don't know what are you shooting with but if you have a camera with BULB function & lot's...lot's...LOT's of patience you can achieve that easily.
It only took me 50 maybe 60 3 minute exposures to get that right & to be honest i wasn't very satisfied.I all most didn't wanted to submit the entry!!!
But thats just me.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Congrats for your second place, Karaflazz!

And you either flipped the image, or you're the best backwards cursive writer in the world!

I't kind of hard to see the heart, at first. It also seems just slightly OOF-out of focus. Personally, I think re-shooting with a different exposure setting would be your best option and if you have a tripod, it would come in handy. I'll hold my vote.

agrees, but it is on theme
