Thanks for all the comments and votes! I knew when I saw this challenge pop up I just had to enter, pregnant and tired or not! :)
I was a little strapped for time, but managed to come up with an idea, shoot it all and edit within one afternoon, over the course of a few hours.
I knew that I wanted to play off my original image...almost as if I was still dealing with the same lightbulb! I wanted to incorporate elements from before, like the outfit, the cat, and the fork. The original actually has gotten a decent amount of notoriety, and even a book cover sold from Getty! Everyone seems to really love that one, and it was fun to make so I am glad people like it. I wish I would have had a bit more time to think of other ideas for this one, but when the rope/pulley system popped into my head, I couldn't think of anything else!
Thanks again for voting and viewing!

Given your pregnancy, I really, really hope that this is a composite! ;-) Congratulations Samantha, outstanding entry, I love it. The concept is perfect: efficient visually, very funny, and you perfectly organized everything on the canvas to make it a pleasure to look at.
Congrats on the well deserved blue Samantha Just checked your profile and was looking trough your work and saw the highest rated one… Feel kind of silly now with my entry. Your work is amazing!
This is not an appropriate activity for someone in your condition. The cat is an especially nice touch. As usual, a lesson in creativity. Thanks for entering (even if it means inevitably knocking my entry down a notch).
