Thank you all for the lovely AND helpful comments and of course the overly generous votes.
This was a completely straight forward image to compose. It was done thusly.
Got a sheet of card.
Placed upon the card one used light bulb (I was brought up with pearlescent bulbs, never realised how beautiful clear bulbs can be).
Got one camera, a little tiny tripod (free with a magazine), the Star Wars special edition video box set and an old walkman. Positioned everything in such a manner that the lens was pointing in a downward angle.
Used as my light sources: 1) one flashlight shining through a blue bottle of water (as per my abstract shot âTy Nantâ, 2) one infrared mouse lying on its back. I had to wave my hand in front of the mouse a bit to get the red light to shine, but that aside, it worked rather well.
Post editing included crop, curves (wonderful thing that, you can really improve the colours of an image, methinks), resize, and I think that was it. Oh, and neatimage, of course.
La fini.
If i did it again i would crop better, tone down the pink, and use something that wasn't a light bulb. possibly.

| Nice sharp foucs on the lighting filement (is that the right word?). The color is nice. I don't find this to be a good composition, however. The looking-down P.O.V. makes the bulb appear top heavy, like it is about to fall down and out of the frame. |

| Great photo! I really like the colors, composition, and focus in this. The many reflections in the glass bulb make the image more interesting. The main subject itself isn't interesting enough for me to give it a 10, but I like the whole enough to give it a 9. Good job! |

| Really beautiful shot with great colors and clarity. One of my favorites of this challenge. Is that your face in the top left of the bulb? ;-) |

| Very nice color, might benefit from a tighter crop on the right to lose the two big hot spots. Good luck. |

| Your Bulb appears to have blown.. :-). The white highlight on the bulb takes over a bit, although it's quite dramatic as a whole. |
