Hollowed out a light bulb, attached a toothpick/dowel thing to the base in the back, stuck that through a piece of paper (the white background). A couple of Alien Bee 400s: one pointed at the background, the other at the front of the bulb. Dripped a drop of food coloring in, took the shot.

great concept, execution a little flawed, resulting photograph great. Would be better if water had been filled to top so we couldn't see line, thereby showing how it was done. Never let the audience see how you do your tricks. Post processing excellent though. 7 bump to 8 after viewing all.

I can see the water line, which takes away from your accomplishment.

Another image similar to this filled the globe with more water, taking that line away.

An above average score, but, could of been higher if it were not for that line.

Wow, I love the concept. I would've like the caption to be Smart Electricity, but then people wouldn't notice how the color resembles the nervous system. Good job!
