 For those of you who want to know how i got this done, here a quick description of my setup.
First I used this round bulb which had already died, you can see the bad elements inside which I decided to leave inside to give more look of a real bulb. Carefully opened the bulb through the bottom and filled it up with clean water, this is how I got the magnification. Then I printed a big world image in 4 regular printing paper with I then put together in a poster. This poster was placed upside down behind the bulb. The bulb was hanging from a tripod. A flash was used under the bulb pointing to the map, like that the light would bounce from the map and come through the bulb. Many shots were taken moving the camera, moving the bulb and moving the flash to find that ONE sweet spot. Later I edited the final final image in Lightroom where I played a bit with colors, contrast, clarity and sharpness.

I was fine with the image being disqualified because I didnt save the original CR2 files that came directly from the camera, but being suspended because this is my second disqualification??? Really??? My last disqualification was more than 6 years ago!!! Maybe this is why the site has a lot fewer members than when I started. Its like the site is run by computers and not by people that understand whats going on.

Thank you everyone for all the comments!! I'm very proud of myself for getting 4th place!! This has been my highest rated image. It is a shame that I didnt save the original file as it came out from the camera. They arw now asking for those files and the only files I have are the DNG files that Lightroom converts from my CR2 files. So this image will most likely get disqualified. I will make sure. I save the originals next time. Once again, thank you all!!!

So Creative. I haven't a clue how you did this, but it is stunning! I love that you left all the elements of the light bulb (if that is what it is)and the reversed text. Well done!
