'4', maybe '5', had you entered this. I was interested in seeing this for the potential, as I said in my comments in the real entry (which I gave a 2). Obviously looks a lot better at this size, but the 'clarity' and contrasting lights against the 'pure black' that was in the smaller size, doesn't seem to be as strong in this. There seems to be a slight 'haze' (difficult to explain). I like (again as I said before) the potential here, the composition is good with the bulb in the corner and the unusual 'lined/patterned bokeh' in the background is good. If the bulb were a fraction more in the frame, 'sharper' (especially re your title) and some 'tweaking' of the overall color/contrast, trying to get the black more 'pure', would have made this even better in my opinion. Also, for a 'Free Study', it was always going to be a 'different horse in the race' against so many other more 'classic' photography shots, if that makes sense. Thank you for posting this version. edit:typo
