Nicely done! Nice color, exposure, and composition. (border a bit wide for my taste - draws my eye out of the picture).

What a lot of effort - building a time machine and all! Nice pic although possibly just a bit heavy on the FX/filters.

Excellent idea and brilliantly realised. I'll have to give this a go sometime. Thanks for sharing how it was done. I like the face as it appears quite ghostly, which is a good effect.

I like the detail you get in the metal, the sepia tone is also nice. However not really black on black IMO.

All,
Thanks for all the constructive and supporting comments. With this being my first ribbon, I was really jazzed when the scores started to pour in! Let the addiction begin! I wasn't going to submit to this challenge given my low interest in self portraitures, but I thought of this at the last minute. I purposefully introduced some blur and over saturation - if I had a better subject, I would do things a little differently. To answer some questions, the bulb is resting directly on a computer display containing the portrait - pretty simple. Thanks again,
Jerry
