'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. But the earth was formless and empty. Then God said: Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good'. (The Bible, Genesis 1, 1) ..................................................................................................................................................................................... It is the light what gives consistency and form to the matter. The atoms are practically 100% empty space. The volume occupied by the nucleus plus the volume occupied by the electrons is only 0,0000000000001% (yes, thirteen decimals) of the total volume of any atom. But the photons, as bosons responsible of the electromagnetic interaction, connect internally and continuously the electrons with the nucleus, and also the atoms with other atoms in order to form molecules. The photons act as if they were the cement of the matter. Without light in its interior, there would not be 'solid' atoms and molecules. The matter, the whole universe would be an extremely loose soup of bosons and hadrons with c.0% density. That is, without light, the matter, the earth would be 'formless and empty', as surprisingly states the first sentence of the Bible. Light is not an outside phenomenon: photons are an essential 'internal' component of the matter. Without them it would not be possible any form. Neither the beauty, nor the photography. The matter is literally 'filled' with light. Also at night. To capture it, is all.
..................................................................................................................................................................................... One of my favorite themes in photography is try to capture the light of the children's eyes. In any portrait, everything is in the eyes. And children have the most pure, genuine and lighting eyes.

I like how you photograph a face and make me feel like I know what's going on behind those eyes. :)

At a quick glance, it looks the best to me too, but I just really admire someone getting a theme and 'working' it. I think you can learn a lot from doing so, and you can get some lovely shots like this!
