Comment by Kavey:
The motion is great and the chosen lighting really brings it out very well. I like the way the model is low down in the frame with lots of negative space above, to show the distance fallen, but I am not sure the shape of the image overall works well for me.
In terms of content this is very powerful for me as I have vertigo. Once upon a time I was commuting home from work and the escalators at Tottenham Court Road tube station were closed. The spiral staircase there is particularly deep and I just froze half way down, with that strong feeling that I was about to fall. I was stuck there for several minutes until a sympathetic man stopped and asked if he could help me down by walking very slowly infront of me. Uugh.

Good use of color to accentuate mood. 9

This looks like a toy version of one of the "urban landscapes" images. The highlights are a little hot, but other than that, nice idea and good composition.

Nice idea, but the reflections and glare spoil it a little

The light bulb stands out well against the background - good focus - how did you get it so the background wasn't lit up by the bulb? Compositionally I don't find the image very interesting, but I do think it is well-executed and fits both its title and the challenge. 7

Impressive, especially with the background being totally black.

Really cool idea. Edison at his best! 'twould be nice if the bulb itself were nearly invisible so we could focus on the cool mechanics inside it. Try this: using Selective Color, add black to the Neutral colors, and fiddle with that for a while.
