I like this a lot. The people on the balcony are a huge distraction. I'd love to see this with those "intruders" Photoshopped out.
This is the ceiling of the Cole Eye Institute, looking straight up from the center of that floor shot. The sky light is fashioned after an eye. The ceiling is painted in some really boring/ugly neutral colors. I was messing around and came up with this. I created a negative and adjusted the lighting levels.

water well
not too curvy and way too linear... Unfortunately don't have the opportunity to go out with my camera these days and this is the best fitting picture i had from a previous trip...
P.S. Chappers your bridge picture is stunning and now is my desktop background.

This is an extremely interesting photo. Could you fill us in on what we're looking at? Strikes me as something I would expect from an archeologist in these parts.
Dale
I'll happily send you the full version by email if you would like.
Your picture is as Dale says - very interesting - very interesting indeed. Obviously we need more information - quality stuff.
OK Bruce - it looks like some sort of material - I obviously considered marine life but I honestly don't know.
^^^I thought this was not a contest, but Bruce seems to be making it a guessing game... The graphics thread has Identify This Font. Maybe Bruce could start an Identify This Marine Life Thingy...
Dale
Okay. This is not a "marine life thingy." If it were, then I would have shot it through glass and it would be all blue-green.
The last couple of days have been really hard. I guess this seemed a little cuter last night when I was physically and emotionally exhausted. This is a panel from a tie produced under Jerry Garcia's name. It caught my attention because I used to do clinical work (I'm a therapist) with a guy at the Indiana State Prison who was a "Dead Head". He told me that when he was using his own product (he "earned" his living making and selling LSD stamps) he would see patterns just like this.
What has always caught my eye is the fluidity and motion created by the pattern in the weave.
I promise -- no more guessing games and no more posts when I'm too tired.

It's from a recent adventure to India. The picture shows only some of the steps of a gigantic water well called a bawdi.

It'd be great if you could send the full version!
So I was close - but don't stop throwing them in - I rather enjoy the challenge.
Thx Dale;
I have 0 training in RAW editing, just playing in iPhoto, moving sliders, seeing what "looks right" to my eye w/o formal background.
(I usually hate training books also.....)
Every tip learned becomes base knowledge to build on. I think PSE8 can do what you outlined as well, will try.
Thanks ... we tried to get there at opening , but so did everyone else . If I get a chance this weekend , maybe I'll try to send those unwanted tourists into the ozone .
Had my choice of doing the work I took home tonight , or expunging unwanted humanity from the Guggenheim. Work lost.
I submitted this to my first POTW challenge. Chicago's answer to NY's Central Park is called Millennium Park. There is this polished chrome sculpture in the middle called "Cloud Gate". It looks like a big shiny kidney bean. This is Chicago's Loop reflected in the bean.

I'm having trouble finding a good subject for this challenge, so I have decided to pull out an old photo.
The horizontal (curvilinear) line is the International Space Station.

Rail lines in Buckley, Washington's Heritage Park. The sky is like that for most of the fall and winter around here, and I won't reshoot this area until the spring. I make do with what I have to make do with...
Quiz: If the rail car moves toward the camera, will it take the left or right tracks? Explain your answer.

This is great. I do not like the washed out sky, but that is out of your control. On the other hand, that helps keep the eye on the subject. The colors are rich and framing are perfect. The tracks and junction pull the eye into the frame, but then the bend in the track creates an unexpected disturbance that enhances the image. Well done.
The car will go to the track on our right. The switch and the position of the switch tracks are set that way.
BTW: Was this shot in an aquarium through glass as well??
Didn't you win with this? Nice shot.
An oldie but a goody.
Would that be the trains left or mine?
That was the beginning of February. How do you remember that?
Anyway, yes it did win. That was the first time I ever submitted a photo to any contest. Not a bad way to start.

I'll bet it's a trick and he posted a mirror image of the original. In that case, we are wrong no matter what we answer. Of course that means Dale would also have to be wrong.
