 Took ages removing the filament out of a lightbulb with a view to shooting a burning candle inside.
However I couldn't keep it burning so had to move to plan B



I am up at 5:23pm checking my final score lol and simply can't believe it.

Many thanks to everyone for voting for me and making very kind comments

I really like this shot.. how did you get the lightbulb to balance like that?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2009 09:05:21 AM
nice. sharp. great idea. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/01/2009 11:39:35 AM
OMG, this has to win a ribbon, how did you get the bulb to stand there like that, the only thing i have to say thats bad, is that the top of the flower looks blown out,
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Score 10: In my top 3 for this challenge, really like it. Simple concept (and one that many have used), beautifully executed with lovely lighting and nice composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot but I feel the orange border is too close to the subject. I think it would look better if the orange border was closer to the edge of the frame.

Nice shot and composition. Great idea for re-use of a light bulb.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2009 11:17:18 AM
I guess it was a harder sell to call it a Swan vase. ) Did you try other colors for the frame?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2009 11:16:01 AM
with more details on the flower and a bit of sharpening on the lamp this could be a killer image.

This is beautiful. Great lighting and a really cool setup and very "DPC-friendly" as I like to say. A flower and a lightbulb seem to be element associated with the green movement. But to be a devil's advocate: I'm not sure how this says "green" or environmentalism. However, strangely, it works as a stock photo for the topic.

Well executed. Good use of lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Clever composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice. For me the water completes the shot and also gives it the needed balance.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2009 08:41:34 PM
Great concept, though there seems to be a lack of detail in the flower, and the reflection on the bulb, though in focus, looks blurred.
