There is a flashlight shining into the bulb to help the illusion of it being lit up.

Well the lighting should be better, but a nice idea.

Cool, hand is a little soft, but since the levitation of the light bulb is the subject, it works.

A very nice illusion. A dead sharp hand would have given the image even more strength. Bump.

Nicely done. Clean, no wasted space, lit well. Only nitpick would be to have the hand sharper. Could be one of those inspirational posters. 6.

Not bad on the trick. The bulb is totally blown and that isn't quite good. The hand also looks slightly soft. You'll suffer a bit because of some of the other shots which attempted the same thing and managed to carry it off better. 6

I guess I'd prefer if the bulb weren't solid white, i.e. overexposed. It does stand out against the solid black background but I think seeing the filament or at least the soft glow of a frosted bulb would perhaps be nicer.

Great idea. Either my eyes are going bad but I can't help but feel that the had needs to be more in focus. But that is minor. The composition is great.

The focus seems to be a little off here, being shallow and on the little finger rather than your subject. Nice idea however and love to know how you got the bulb to light up.
