Very nice shot! I like how the row of lights at the top seems to be floating without support (other than the subject of course :) ) ...and the slight hint of reflection on the lit blue floor is also very nice...
Was this shot hand-held? How come there is no blur at that shutter speed? Is there a tactic to reduce/eliminate blur?

@Anupama: Gee thanks, Anu, for your comment and for noticing the niceties. I think you have a keener eye than I do. I'm glad you like it. Yes, this was hand-held and I think 1/25 isn't too bad a shutter speed. About 1s is when I seriously think of having a support, but that may just be me. It starts to get tricky around 1/10, I agree, but then you can kind of brace the camera against yourself for the capture. Also, I think using the viewfinder (the old-fashioned way) rather than the LCD helps for low shutter speed images, since you kind of hold the camera against your face and that reduces shakes. OIS in the camera is also useful :)
