Emergence

I see a few different images in this, both of what you mentioned in your title intro but what really grabs me is the fact that the wire element is still burning even though it’s enclosure has been shattered. Technically and visually amazing work.

It is intriguing, Ken. I expect it means different things to different people, depending how mental they are, rofl! :o) How about a snake’s head? (Its OK, I’m taking the tablets….......)

Krys, self medicating again and you are not sharing, I want to see the snakes head too!!! lol. Thanks for the comment

Awesome shot!! Although I just see smoke – that’s it my imagination is shot.

It’s a wonderful image but sadly all I see is smoke, or is this how genies look when they escape from a lamp????
Ectoplasm??????
It’s truly technically impressive.

Oh man, I wish you hadn’t pointed out the boxing skull, it’s all I can see now! lol
...and I have to agree, technically extremely well mastered.

when i first saw the wee photo i thought i was looking at an x-ray of someones knee bet your glad im not a doctor!! great shot

yes if thats your x-ray your heel isny attached to your leg could be painful!!

Its not just smoke its a boxing glove!!! Fab

I too see the boxing skull and the question mark~~incredible image Ken. I have a photo of a fire that has the face of a screaming demon in it, but the quality of the photo is not up to par, unless I can find a way to improve the quality, it will just be a photo lost to carelessness!!

I see an embryo emerging from the flame.

As Peter said…technically & visually amazing

So…you see the embryo too?

Ok…maybe it is my mind..
It started as a seahorse curled up…. then a fern frond …but it is definately an embryo for me.

This should be part of psychological testing !

You continue to astound me Ken, absolutely incredible photography mate!! You are one of the very best…continue uploading, I can’t wait to see more!!! Thank-you so much for sharing your brilliance!!

That is one incredible capture!!
Awesome shot!

Ken this is totally killer and amazing..love it..it’s like a question mark to me, but I do see the boxing glove..maybe it’s my fave boxer Joe Calzaghe’s…. ;-)

It puts me in mind of a sock puppet,,smile.
I like the challenge in looking beyond.

And how my friend, and how…I got some ‘cramming’ to do this weekend for sure…

I’ve seen some good photo’s of this type by IreneM at DPChallenge and both her bulb photo’s as well as your one are simply fascinating… Maybe I should try it myself ;)

Fantastic effects,Ken,well done indeed!!!

Great capture

as always, stunning work Ken!!!

This is very interesting and cool Ken !!!!

cool catch

Very interesting

most amazing ~ excellent shot!

Very interesting image, skull or not…

Ken, thats a cool shot!

I see everything you all have mentioned. Except the embryo. Mostly I see the skull…..but it’s not boxing. It wants to shake hands.

Anyway, I also want to say I love your profile. I love your kids’ names. and oddly enough, my older one is named Olympus also. And can you guess my youger’s name? It’s Canon! Unfortunately, I only have two. But I really, really want another. (I might name it Nikon)

Thank you so very much Nancy

this is awesome.. haha and i can see both the question mark and the boxing skull.. at first i did not know what to expect when you mentioned a “boxing skull” but as soon as i looked at the image i saw it.. nice shot

GREAT SHOT

I was going to say switch it around to see the question mark… but now looking at it again… ??? I see the question mark… duhhh and yes, I see the boxing skull… it can surely hurt things with those small arms. Great timing to capture the smoke in a shapely form. I see the broken glass… did you break the bulb while it was on?... or was it broken first…. nevermind… now I understand how this site works,,,, duhh… look at the previous comments.. lol. 1/2 second. Great ready, get set… on… POOF!,, what camera? On burst mode until the smoke went off the screen? Was it dangerous with a light switch? Nice capture of your glowing filament without the brightness. Ok.. now I see the one eyed cobra snake. Very large hood it has… as well as a smilie face… ok… no more meds for me.. hahahaha

I want whatever lambchop is on :) I see a skull in the smoke an the question mark but thats it. I need more drugs :)

Thanks heaps Robyn
