Looking for feedback on some light painting photos

[JNE_Photos]

Okay, I'm still new here, so forgive me if this post should be elsewhere.

I recently took some photos at the NC State Fair and was hoping to get some feedback. I've posted my favorite below. You can find a link to a few more here: NC State Fair 2012 - a set on Flickr.

EDIT: Please note these photos shouldn't be labeled as light painting photos, as pointed out below.

Don't think your photo is actually light painting, but a long exposure at night. Light painting is just that - painting a subject with a light such as a flashlight or such. In darkness the subject is exposed to light from the flashlight, painting it with light.

Okay, I see what you're saying now. My mistake. Thanks for clarifying. Any thoughts on the long exposure photo?

That isn't light painting, BUT is certainly a very well composed long exposure. Good job. I look forward to seeing more of your photos. Keep shootin'.
Oh, and Welcome to TPF.

That's a very cool non-light-painting photo.
