Wow I had hopes this would do well but I never imagined it would be 5th! Thanks for all the votes and comments. And two favorites!! I actually was going to shoot something else, glad I went with this idea instead. I figured there would be similar entries so I decided to wrap the stem around the bulb, thinking it might help it be a little more unique and well, pretty. :)
This was shot in a homemade lightbox. I used poster putty to stick the bulb in place standing up (I was really scared it was going to fall over and break LOL). I taped the ends of the stem down to wrap it around the bulb and used more poster putty to position the flower in place.
Post processing I just auto leveled, cloned out the putty and a small corner of tape that could be seen, and burned part of the stem to make it stand out more. |

| I like the colors of the flower and how the stem wraps around with the bulb. How did you get the bulb to stand up straight? |

| Great way to integrate the two sides. This works best out of the light plants. |

| Popular idea, nicely executed. Not sure the sheer amount of negative space adds much here; closing up to the subject would give more impact I think. |

| By far the best of this type - A little more light in the middle of the flower would have made it even better. |

| A lot of CFI's in this challenge. Sure hope we know what we're going to do with the mercury. |

| This is a great shot. I submitted a similar image, however this is MUCH better. The lighting and setup on your photo work great. My favorite. |

| Nice image and a good interpretation but a bit too central IMO. |

| Great subject. I feel that the lighting is not strong enough on the top portion, even though it's strong enough to cast a shadow of the bulb. |
