 A 30 second exposure. The first 15 seconds were lit with the spark from a lighter held at various angles, the remaining exposure time was lit with my cell phone. I moved to cell phone around the bottom and left side of the setup to evenly 'paint' the rocks with light.

The vibrancy was kicked way up in lightroom, which brought out the colors of the sparks.

This is beautiful. The light gives off the sparkle in the droplets which seems to be clinging on the the smooth surfaces of the rocks. A 7.

I really like this but think there was a great opportunity missed. My eye is drawn, at first, to the rock in the upper-middle quadrant as it is framed perfectly by all the sparks. The fact that it is falling out of focus is confusing to the eye.
