Compositionally, I do like how you have filled the frame with the subject. I think, though, as someone else mentioned, it might have been better to do a profile shot. Without the ears, (which can only be seen with scrolling on some monitors), it is not immediately obvious that this is a head. Also, it is too tight at the top. It almost feels like the bulb is hanging on the top of the frame, or is attached to something that you don't want to be seen.
Technically, I like how the bulb is sharp focused, and the orange really make you pay attention to this shot. There is some orange haloing around the head, kinda like an aura, that takes away from the overall effect, but otherwise it works pretty well.
Burning a "glow" on the bulb would have definitely gotten you dq'ed as it would be adding an element that is not present in the original. THAT SAID, it is your picture, so outside of dpc, edit to you heart's content -- I think it would be a neat effect. Especially if the glow contrasted with the background.
Best to you in future challenges.
