All Comments and Critiques Welcome.



Edit:
.......... ? Perhaps I should have mentioned sooner, this is a light bulb. ?
The purple background is a desktop wall paper on my computer monitor. The rest is an extreme closeup of a 40 watt appliance light bulb. The only editing was some spot removal and pumping the saturation up ( alot! ).

I love it. I think it looks sort of like a light bulb. Great work. I think it is a winner.

Gorgeous shot, and very artistic. It almost looks like an abstract.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

David...

Wonderful clarity of the bottle neck. Very interesting shot with extreme colors. Have no idea how you did that. Time to cut back on your intake of LSD. :-)

Whoa! I very much enjoy your experiments, DP! This capture is electrifying, and I'm really diggin the highly saturated effect, and the semi-transparent elements! Excellent work! Faved.

Ohhh this is awesome!! I had no clue what it was til I read your commentary.The glass part actually reminded me of the top of a bottle. I love your idea and the colours are wicked good!!
Thanx for something simple but very unique!! Verena

Fantastic work! I knew it's a light bulb, I wonder how you captured this? Probably very fast shutter speed? Anyway this is a very unique image and you have captured it wonderfully. Well done.

Thank you for the complements Prashanth. The trick to this was to put the light bulb on a dimmer switch to make the filament glow red instead of being white hot. This also allowed the background to show up as something other than just black as it would with a very fast shutter speed.
