AlllllRiiiiightttt. Very cool. I don't know how you lit that bulb up, but who cares. I like this picture a lot. This is one of the few photos I've seen in which absolute black doesn't take away from the composition, but, rather, adds to it.

Great image. I love the feel of it, and the composition: the light shining trying to illuminate all the darkness in the upper right.

Bright idea! Simple and lovely image, especially since the bulb appears to be on without being screwed it! 8o)

The rough texture of the surface the lightbulb is on adds a bit to the photo.
Great work!10
