I placed the lightbulb in front of the sun and shoot the picture.
I used autolevels, curves and masks. Increased saturation and used dodge and burn here and there. Burned the lightbulb and it came out like this. Very interesting effect.

This is a very nice concept. I've seen it done before. I really like the bulb in this photo, but it seems a bit small. I'm not sure why. The hand doesn't really fit in well with the sky. The color of lighting is extremely different. Very apparent that either a) you took a picture of the hand in front of a print, or, more likely, a monitor, or b) you fooled around with it in PP. With that fixed, this would be a much better photograph. Without it, it still stands well against the composition in this challenge.
