  70. very cool shot!
    It’s just missing some pain on your face, because you burnt your fingers on this light bulb. ;-)

  73. excellent

  74. Thanks guys!

    @ Cosmohome: To answer your question, I was holding an unlit bulb. I added the glow in photoshop. The glow on my face is coming from the snooted flash below me.

  75. very creative, i also love the lighting you used in the photo! great work!

  76. Love the lighting and the texture in the background!
