I'm belatedly getting to making comments and this is yet another incredibly creative idea from you Kelly this is also brilliantly executed. Regards, Michael

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Paul, your remarks over in the forum was what got me thinking; images of Vander Graaf generators lead to looking at plasma balls which lead to light painting with the laser. It was a blast and I ended up with lots of experimental shots.

Nico, I've tried trimming down the border - hope its enough. - Kelly

I can only reiterate the previous comments: we're off to a spectacular start!

I want to see if I can offer a two-part comment for each entry in Eligible: (a) what I like and (b) what I might have done differently.

I hope this will be accepted in the right spirit. I am not a trained photo critic, so the comments are just from a "learner driver's" perspective.

Here, I would then say that the concept was most creative and the different colours and diagonal composition works together really well.

In terms of "what I might have done differently", you have really made this aspect a challenge in its own right! I was not sure that the border needed to be so pronounced, but I understand that this is rather personal and subjective.

Compliments! Regards Nico

It's fabulous and like Bob said you are shooting high right out of the starting gates. I see this challenge may take some thinking. Paul A.
