Ooh that's lovely.

First up this month and setting the standard again! I especially like the blue colour. Very nice, well done.

[tracymae]

Thanks mbell and butch. I think I was maybe a little hasty and have a b&w one I think stands out a bit more Oh well I guess I can post it in the 'not valid' thread.

I also forgot the exif data

Camera: Olympus E-410 Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500) Aperture: f/5.0 Focal Length: 35 mm ISO Speed: 400 Exposure Bias: +0.3 EV

I prefer the black and white one, although my wife prefers the colour one, they are both great shots though just with a slightly different feel.

I was going to use a light bulb as well, seems very apt considering that they are to be phased out this month but yours is so good I think I will have to think of a different subject.

[Zombane]

Great photo

[Antpink]

tracymae, your submissions to this comp have been of a consistently high standard, technically, in the amount of thinking you put behind them, and most crucially being good to look at. Another great one this month

[Paranormalist]

This is good but the B&W on flickr is better still!

[kBm]

I've looked at both shots (this+ the B&W) i like this more, the strong blue and slight reddish brown work well together.

[nikonuser11]

personally I love this, B&W looks dull and no life this blue is FULL of life, great start tracymae, setting a high bar

Great entry Tracey. Bang on theme and apt as 100W filament bulbs are being phased out this month. But I'm sorry to say the b&w one is even better.

[iandrews]

Vary nice like the blue background, and I don't know what it is resting on, but I like the fact you can see text, just adds a little something to it. The inside glass is perfectly sharp and in focus.

Ian.

nice one Tracymae! Should be a solid entry this month.

Love the blue colors, and the details in the bulb.

[UPLOADER]

Nice shot mate but have you not heard about energy saving light bulbs

[tontoshorse]

Joseph Swan would be well pleased.

Great entry.

For what it's worth I think this one is better than the one in 'It's not valid'.

Both great shots though

[Jonstone]

I think this photo is going to be hard to beat come the end of the month, definitely my favourite so far.
