Could be a Skyy Blue vodka ad... nice job, I like it a lot! The different shadses of blue are "bluetiful" :-) I'm giving this an 8, cause I think the bottle could have been just a tad more in focus. Good job!

Comment by ganders:
To those of you who commented on the focus, I agree entirely! That's the trouble with taking the shots on Sunday evening, I spent ages trying to get it right and this was the best shot I managed.

The problem was, I had to tilt the bulb steeply forward, to throw the reflection of the element out of shot. As it was only lit by the bulb itself, dimmed as far as I could, the aperture was wide open and shortened my DOF even more. What I SHOULD have done is switched over to manual and closed down that aperture as far as I could, but of course I came to that conclusion on the Monday!!

Thanks all for your comments and the surprisingly high placing - I shall try and better it for the next challenge!!

I like this shot because it seems to be more of a "suggestion" of a light bulb than an actuality. Has a nice mysterious kind of abstract feel to it. This is definitely a good example of "less is more". lhall

nice closeup of a lightbulb, but it looks like the base is more in focus then the bulk of the bulb.
