Creative interpretation of the challenge. I enjoy that the typical proportions of the lamp and the bulb have been reversed. The colors are nice, but the image comes across as bland. The soft diffuse lighting and white limbo don't give much for the eyes to chew on. The shadow is nice, however I find the reflections in the glass of the bulb to be rather dull.

Barbie told me that her Tiffany was discovered missing after the party. You better hide it before Cop Ken shows up at your pad.

Seriously, I love the picture. I am very interested in how you achieved the balancing act.

I'm a little late congratulating people -- I was in England! :)

6.29 for a ribbon? Impressive. :D

Congrats!!

Interesting shot, not boring at all but is a bit too bright and needs more contrast.

Happy to see you finally get that ribbon you've been searching for! Keep up the hard work, you just might ribbon again, but probably not. Don't let it get you down, not everybody can win ribbons week after week, only the really crazy folks can pull that off. You may want to consider entering more frequently, this will increase your chances for success.

Oh goodness. Where does one get a shrinking ray? Or maybe it's the bulb that's ginormous...

LOL. Very clever juxtaposition. Not sure why this isn't just a square crop, since the excess negative space doesn't really add anything. I'd edit out the dark reflection on the bulb for the portfolio version.
