I too feel fortunate to have won the the 28th competion since there were so many excellent entries.
Here is the Competition #29 topic:
DRAMATIC LIGHTING
Show me compostions where dramatic lighting really makes a strong statement in your submitted photographs. This can include directional lighting from a window or a flash; strong, intense lighting; or even soft or low lighting. I will be particularly looking for originality in response to the theme--So be creative. See my illustrative examples below.
Here is a new request. To help me judge, I would like to view images in the original size. So please, please provide a direct link to the gallery image. Place the link directly below each photo submitted. Again, see the examples below.
In this example just the light from a cell phone can be dramatic.

Here the car tunnel wall lights and a flash combine to produce a dramatic image.
