★ Limit: one entry per person.
★ Your entry must be relevant to the current theme. Myself, and other members of the graphics community will be the judge of how well your entry relates, if ever it's relevancy should come into question.

This photo has not been edited because I can't be bothered and I reckon pix look better natural.

Taken earlier tonight, 11:58 PM. It was taken at with a long exposure during a flash of lightning, which is why the sky is blue and bright for the time and the street-light is glowing. Quite liked this one when it came out.

Spoiler:

Only editing done is the levels.

Here's my entry. Just a quick composition as I didn't want to go outside on anything because it's been darn cold lately.

The interplay and contrast between light and shadow is neat in my opinion. =/

Draped my comforter off of my bed, turned off the lights then placed my desk lamp off camera as a light source.
800 ISO (High as I can go without getting noise)
f/3.5
.3 seconds shutter

Took this at midnight last night, it's my mobile phone.

It should also be noted that aside from cropping and resizing, it has not been edited whatsoever.
