The light bulb was placed outside on a table on my patio. It rained and was cold so I actually took it through my window with the camera safely inside my dining room.
I used a 500W halogen construction work light to get the orange/gold glow on the socket.

Clean, crisp and simple. Nice work! And just in case you get a comment or two about the highlights -- I like them just as they are. One opinion among the many -- and certainly worth what you paid for it ;o)
very clear and nicely detailed, I think this is the kind the dpc voters really like, looks just a bit oversharpened at some points but that's nit picking, hope it does well for you
I like this shot a great deal. The lighting is very nicely done and the reflection is very nice as well. the blue-ish color tone works well with the glass, and in terms of challenge theme, it's right on the head. 9. Bumping to 10, to fit my voting curve :)
Though this is a very simple photo and may not seem very imaginative, I cannot help but offer praise for the clarity and sharpness of the shot. That alone should give you very high rankings. Good luck!
