 I had a couple ideas for this challenge - first I wanted to copy a stock shot done by Remie (searched light bulb)I had all the ingredients: clear bulb, nice sunlight and the white paper. I got some nice test shots, but a thunder storm rolled in and I lost my light.

Next, I set up my little painted piece of glass (IreneM's trick)and shot the bulb with a neat reflection. I loved it!

Enter my mentor/friend Tlemetry and she saw more promise in my test shots done outside than my work with reflections :( ...but after going back & forth on IM she taught me how to edit the photo for submission.
Thanks T! You're the best!!!

I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge (or even see the entries) but I think this is very well done. I love the reflections! Very sharp, very crisp, and again, good work with the conversion to B&W.

Very nice! I was one of your 7's! I thought the clarity and focus was excellent and i love the whole black and white feel to the picture. Definitely should have scored higher and did not deserve those low votes. You are coming along really well! Welcome back to DPCland!
