A lightbulb.

I tied a piece of thread to the socket end, set the camera on a delayed long exposure and when it started, slowly pulled the light bulb backwards

Critique Club Comment

Composition : I have to agree with the other commenters that the tilt of the floor distracts. Also, finding a way to eliminate the "seam" of the wall and the floor would have helped tremendously.

Exposure/Lighting : The upper right hand background has more light than I think you intended. I got more caught up in the texture of the background then in the motion of the bulb.

Focus : I love the sharp focus on the threads in the bulbs starting place. Excellently done.

Post Processing : B/W was a excellent choice for this shot. It seems a bit grainy, but I like that aspect :)

Emotion/Challenge : You met the challenge and more :) Very interesting concept and extremely clever use of title. (Some folks say a title doesn't matter, I say some folks are wrong :) )

Opinion : This is a wonderful concept and I hope you revisit it, make a few small changes, and share the result :) I find a piece of fabric sometimes is the best background since it can be seamless... No tell-tale line where the floor ends and the wall begins. Just a thought :)

Very creative shot! Black&white works very good here. The only thing which bothers me is that the photo is so tilted. -stephan

I'd try this from a different (higher?) angle so you don't have the visible seam where the foreground surface meets the back "wall," splitting the final image of the bulb. I like the overall concept.

Nice effect. Lighting and focus are good. Subject matter is interesting and appropriate. 8 waltoml.

What pun_ishment in the title. Interesting, and also the first I've seen where the frame actually enhances the pic. Well done, and well photoshopped.

Interesting concept. I think I would have rotated the canvas so it was level with the background line was level with the picture frame though.
