This is actually just a desk lamp. I spot metered on the light to get this effect.

Greetings from the critique club.

I liked the concept of your entry for the challenges. People have long believed that UFO's are indeed government conspiracies, etc.

I like the lighting - the orange glowing type effect. The thing that made this less "realistic" were the two semi-circular shapes on the "spaceship" itself, and the rim.

Simplicity in composition works well, and I like the solid black background. It keeps the viewers eyes on your subject matter. I do find the white border just a bit distracting as there is no other "true" white in your photo. Sometimes I find choosing a color from the photo itself tends to lessen any such distraction.

Overall though, good entry in the challenge. It shows a cleverness and creativity. Keep up the good work.

Looks cool, I am going to check this image out after the voting ends to see what that thing really is, I hope you put it in the photographers comments.

Nice flying saucer. Maybe backed off a bit if there was enough clear space around it.

Interesting. I've come back a couple of times trying to determine what this is. At first I thought the black shadow on the right was the silhouette of a person's head, which made me like this more, but now I'm thinking that it's a finger holding onto this glowy thing (mainly because it seems to have an opposite number on the left). I still like the colors, but the grooves on the outside ring are distracting me a little.

Took me a bit to figure this one out. Upside down house light, right?

Is that a sihlouette of a person on the right or just a part of the UFO? If a person I'd like to see just a little bit more of them to eliminate a person. I'm thinking not based on the little chip out of the left side as well. Anyways, those two little things are the only thing I really feel detracts from this. Lighting is superb, it almost looks like CG.

Interesting UFO.. is it a Trojan?

Strangely...my first thought was a glow in the dark breast implant... sorry :-) But I like your idea - clever.
