Hi Cameraman and Barbara. Thank you for your comments. I had the loan of a light suit so I hung it up in the dark and took all kinds of exposures. I actually moved the camera on purpose when I did this particular shot and this is the result.

Awesome! Nice abstract light. What is a light suit?

Hi Jasonh and Tom. I'm really pleased you like the image. The light suit in this case was lent to me for a few days so I could photograph it any way I liked. It belongs to a performance artist who does and teaches improvisational acting. It's a cloth body suit with a long tube of blue lighting sewn to the contours. The lights are battery controlled.

Suzanne, it's a very unusual image. An eerie abstraction. Something belonging to underwater world or outer space.
I know that such blue smokes are made by PS manipulations with real smokes images.
Now you have all the ingredients (stars, the Moon, and this blue one) for a deep space collage. Val

Very interesting, eye catching image. Where would someone wear a lightsuit??? I never heard of such a thing.

Hi Val and Boz16,
Thank you both for your comments. That's interesting about the blue smoke images and photoshop. Maybe I'll get a chance to try that soon. And I also like your suggestions of combining things. That's a great idea.
One of the places a person would wear a light suit is a live performance art presentation. I saw this suit worn by a student actor miming in a darkened room but against a back lit screen. The actor was interacting with someone's shadow and there was rather abstract instrumental music playing as well.
