Hello from the Critique Club,

Technicals: The exposure of this image is exceptional. I would have never guessed that so much detail could be captured shooting straight into a light bulb. Although the cropping of this image puts the main subject dead center, I think it works for this image. The reason being is that my eye knows there is more to the lamp then what is visible and it automatically draws in an outline of what might be there. Sort of like an implied leading line for the lamp.

Voter Appeal: The humor here is very good but just a bit subtle for the general DPC voter. I think your score suffered just a bit as any voter that didn't take the time to read everything in this image would have scored it as average or lower for being just a lamp. To be truthful, my eye was first drawn to the 120 V part of the light bulb and I had to search quite a bit to find the 75 W part of the image.

This image connects with me humor wise and I thank you for bringing a smile to my face.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Living dangerously!!! ;^) Nice job of getting the correct exposure on this. Personally, I would have trimmed just a little more off the right. Good luck in the challenge.
