Quote from: Cluelessness. Feel free to follow the link if you are curious enough.

I took my picture a couple of weeks ago in a bakery store. I also added a frame, which I regret.
I was reminded that the idea was already taken in a demotivational poster by Despair.

I wanted to share it with you people and get some of your oppinions.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

I love the image, the only think i may have tried was using a larger aperture to some nice blurred areas

I like the Shot very much; I think a larger apeture would have helped blur out the airconditioner in the back ground which is distracting or perhaps trying to clone it out or blur it a little. But all in all its an effective shot. Nest time put a blanket or something over the distraction.
Thanks for Sharing this
Michael.

interesting concept, I like your " keep it simple" approach. the light relfecting off the glass bulbs creates some great circles. cool shot .. thanks for showing it
