Frozen Teardrop

Another light painting experiment, and another frozen water balloon. I hung this one so it froze in a teardrop shape. I had trouble getting it to freeze, even though it was outside in below freezing temperatures (well below freezing at night) but for some reason it didn't want to freeze. When I opened it up, a bunch of water poured out of a hole in the side, and I was left with a hollow shell, which allowed me to light it from the inside.

What I was really hoping for was a clear, solid piece of ice, but this was kind of interesting, and unexpected.
