From critique club.

The gray silouette and the bright colored bulb make a fresh rendition of the symbol for the inspiration and idea.

I would criticize a little the geometric disposition of the figures. According to the saying: "As if the light turned on in my head..." - imagine a light bulb iside the head. Suppose your head as lantern deflector and the neck as the socket. You see? the lamp axis is aligned with the axis of the nexck! Now move the lamp out off the head along the nek's axis and place it 2 inches above the head. That would be perfect perceptual position which would not hurt the eye of the watcher :-))

Also in contrast to the blurry gray intuition and subconscious the idea is bright, distict and sharp - the edges should not be fuzzy-gray.

This shot made me laugh right from the get-go. I know it's probably just your hair, but it looks like you have a cat laying down on your head that's looking in the same direction as the man.

I like it, but the light is not very real

this doesn't maintain 'photographic integrity' for me... = 1 - addendum: I modified my vote on this photo because I made a bad assumption.

I like the picture and I think you get the point across without adding the lightbulb over the head. I think that it takes away from the overall picture.

I really like the idea, but it appears the light bulb shape was cut out of the background. There are what appears to be some jagged or rough lines, a cleaner cut or somehow a lighbulb it self would have made it more interesting to me.

Interesting composition. What's holding the light bulb up?

the head and hand in thoughtful repose looks great but the cheesy bulb above the head spoils the shot for me. It looks like it was hurriedly cut and pasted into the image.

You should get an extra point just for the pompadour.
