I think a tighter crop would of helped this shot for me. It's done well otherwise.

Comment by Gordon:
A hard exposure to get right but you've made a good attempt. The very black and very white subjects are at the extremes of what you could get away with and the silver on the bulb seems to have suffered a bit as a result.
It is well composed, and the glow/ halo around the bulb works quite well. I think I might have preferred it with a shorter exposure, almost to the point of just seeing a glowing filament, perhaps ?

This is good shot. I would like it even better if you had turned the lamp so that the "caution" label didn't show.

This is too far off center for my taste. It looks like an obvious attempt at being "artsy". The pic is good as is, but better with better framing. - Inspzil

For those of you who are interested in this shot. This is just the negative of normal everyday drinking straws. You can see the original shot over on: //www.pbase.com/crabappl3/gallery/contest

Thanks to all the people who left comments.

Who woulda thought. I love the colors and the title sure fits. Wasn't sure at first but this one grows on you the more you look at it. At first I thought a 5 but the more I look it is a 7 for sure. PTL

but your photo doesn't. Great colours. I Like it. Are those regular straws? They really look metallic! I can't wait to try this effect. Good job. Jacko. 9

I like this, I don't know why, maybe modern art? abstract? Just like it.
