Hi and thanks to all the comments. Out of luck this happened to be the first bulb i dropped. As some of you guessed it was dropped onto a mirror, i was trying to get the bulb to smash with the bayonet fixing also in the reflection to show it was a mirror. The bulb was white and the hue's were changed to give a blue look. On the original there was small bits of glass flying, i cloned these out as they were so small they looked more like dust particles. Cheers :-)

How many did you have to smash on the mirror before you got this one? Nice work!

Is the bulb actually blue, or is that a result of the lighting set-up? Good shot, well done

Kudos to you if this motion was really stopped here. It appears that the bulb has been placed on a mirror. Unusual to see a bulb dropped and not have some pieces flying out a little. Hmmm. Will be interested to see how you did this after the challenge. Did you shift the color hue some to get the bulb greenish blue like that?

Very nice. Just nitpicking here, but a lower angle might be nice here.

i'm not seeing an implied sense of stopped motion

Un-original. Didn't bring anything new and exciting to the piece...

Cool Shot. I think if it were a fraction of a second later you'd have a much more impactful image.
