I wanted to take a picture of a light bulb filament for the light challenge. It took me several days longer to come up with what I wanted. I would really appreciate a critical eye to help me analyze this picture. In particular, please point out anything I can do to improve it.
This is a picture of a light bulb in an overhead clear glass light fixture in my daughter's bedroom. Six pie shaped pieces of glass make up the bottom of the fixture. Each piece of glass is beveled on all three sides. The filament appears both on the flat part of the glass and on the bevel.
It demonstrates the power of raw. I was able with curves on the raw to capture a wide range of intensties. I just did reasonable edits: brightness, contrast, color, saturation, noise reduction, sharpen, rotate, crop, resize, add border.
The second picture is without the beveled glass in front. I did almost all processing on raw, just resized, aharpened slightly, added border, and created jpeg in JASC paint shop pro 8.
