Paper always makes for a good background. The texture here is fantastic.

Good Shot. I like the contrast. Focus is excellent. I feel like it's missing something though. It feels a little bland. - 8 -

Very artistic treatment, if a bit too literal take on the phrase. Well exposed and composed. Rich tones and hues are extremely appealing and I keep coming back to this shot.

I love the tone of this! I'm curious to see what type of background you used, or whether it is just the mix of light, duotone, and contrast. The image is so sharp as well, very clear. There are far too many things I like about this. Certainly my fav so far.

what a terrific photo. The macro is terrific in showing the intricate detail in the bulb. Fabulous lighting, and wonderful capture of the light within. Definite 10.

Not sure this is a phrase I know, but who cares when the photography is this good? Absolutely perfect. Might even be the first print I buy, if you'll put it in dpcp.

Later ... just gets better every time I see it. Reminds me of some of the early photographic experiments, guys like emerson and Goodall, or Fenton even perhaps. It's that strange un-worldly shading around the edge of the bulb of glass, the way the thickness of the glass produces a dark ring and almost a halo. Would I be right in guessing this isn't actually a blaxk and white shot, but rather a heavily de-saturated full colour image? Seems to have tints of purple, and amber in it. The only way to portray such depth on computers that I know of ... good luck, I hope this wins.

Beautifully done gray tones and soft transition between the bulb and the background.

I like the magnified look, it almost doesn't look like a light bulb :) I like it.
