very nice

Looks very similar to this: http://www.stockxpert.com/browse_image/view/42608631

yes Paulus...and? it has nothing to do with it though..this is my interpretation of "go green" and I've seen a tree in a light bulb everywhere..it has been done before... and that is why I wanted to give it a shot...

Hi Paulus62. You are right (How you found it?), but still it's a good job.

I don't understand what the problem is? the idea is the same..but the execution is totally different... and for your info : I hadn't even seen that picture...

for me very nice!

Nice idea i like it good luck!

there is nothing wrong with being inspired by something. the "go green" idea itself has been done a lot of times before. as for the image itself, it's flawless as far as i can see so high marks from me!

Thank you elficho!

I have to agree with elficho, great blending, nicely done.

I will definately say INSPIRED from the Paulus LINK (I will say, what EAGLE eyes you have Paulus.. Fantastic) and It's good to have that as a reference.. but this is extremely different work and image.. high Marks from me as well, this is a tree inside a 25/45 watt laying on it's side with a definate light source while the image in question is a hand held vertical with NO shadow cast and a seedling tree, not a grown one) they are two totally different images in the same vein.. It would be like me drawing a ketchup jar from a restaurant I ate at this afternoon.. (and thank you for my babble

AUTHOR.. save yourself some grief and Place a link as reference in your SBS or just say.. I've seen something like this on the web and thought I'd try it.. You know.. the usual BS, it really helps prevent confusion (Oh yeah.. YOUR SBS is mind blowing in it's simplicity when I know a whole lot more work into it.. YOWZA)

This is really a well done image...

Amazing job! GL!!!

nice ideea

Just a thought here...the angle suggests that there would be more dirt spilling into main area of bulb. It would also set it apart from the references that everyone is talking about. Nice work, author! Excellent execution and the simplicity you kept is really nice.

This is great!

nice job

nice approach!

i am impressed, very good job

This is an excellent image! Well done author. One small nitpick. The shadow of the tree just seems a little small in comparison to the lightbulb shadow IMHO. I'm no expert in drawing shadows myself mind you, but it's just how it seems to me. Good luck

Your image is a far supperior to the one (link) that Paulus noted... I think you did a very good job - the tree really looks like it is behind the glass - good job

That's a really good idea but how does it gives light? :P

nice! i think this could work better if perhaps you get a picture of you holding it, so that you can see through the bulb, and see you (the transparency effects could prove quite impressive rather than just a white background...) have you hold it close to the 'camera' and blur out the background of you, as if it were a perspective shot. just an idea, but i believe it could make this already great image even better.

I think its a great image - well done - Sadly i dont think it fits the theme..

gooooood one !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be good to see an image in this contest that's actually on theme, but this is a well made pic...

Love this one! Great idea and well done!

good job! your idea has more of a symbolic meaning which i think it's great

Pure genius!

like it a lot
