Certainly not an easy one to judge, four is just not enough! But here goes:
Entry #: 1
Artist: Bunyip02
Comment: Fantastic ironic use of the theme
Entry #: 13
Artist: Diomede (Ted Murphy)
Comment: I like the subtlety of the phantom and the pose and expression of the girl
Entry #: 14
Artist: mschack
Comment: Just very well made and rendered
Entry #: 17
Artist: PNG
Comment: Great to have a (mostly) abstract interpretation and very nice rays of light.
At first I was judging literally by the title of the competition; expecting the actions in the scene to encourage light to enter the scene but then I realized that this is about lighting a scene, not the actions in the scene. That changed my choices.
Entry #: 1

Comment: I like the concept of the image and the use of light to convey that.
Entry #: 14
Artist: mschack
Comment: I like the lighting and it fits the theme perfectly.

Entry #27
Title: Lost Spirit
Artist: headwax
Comment: I had 4 images that I couldn't decide on. I chose this one because I liked that gels were used and a few bulbs but the image was perfectly lit for the subject.

Title: Candle Lit
Artist: mschack
Some really good entries, and great to see newer/infrequent participants step up to the plate.
For me, the Challenge voting was a bit unusual. About 10 renders impacted me at nearly the same level, so I erred in favor of newer participants, or those I hadn't voted for in a while.
Still, gotta shout out to Stezza and Selina for their fine modeling. Excellent technical skills in general were certainly on display this month, and it was nice to see folks explore the (infinite) depths of Carrara. As usual, HW ran a great Challenge. :)
