Challenge: Puzzle Macro II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Collection: 2008 Challenges
Camera: Canon Power Shot SX10 IS
Date: Nov 18, 2008

The subject is crazed ceramic glaze. It is on a small dish which is about 6 1/2 inches in diameter. However the actual final image area is only about 1/2 an inch long. The crazing is obvious to the eye, but the bubbles were a bonus that only became apparent on magnification.

That is some dish! Appreciate the over- and mid-views which seem only to increase the wow of the closeup. You made the right choice, I think, in your entry, concentrating on the green blues to purple. T

This is a picture of the complete ceramic dish

This is the original photo from which I extracted the detail in my submission.

This is one of many alternative outtakes. There were quite a few and I spent a ridiculous amount of time agonizing over their relative merits.

Yo Marion, I would never have guessed this, and am terribly impressed by lectrol who did. I kept thinking bits of paper, but what were those eye things... Great colours and patterns of patterns. Would really like to see a shot of the plate. Congrats on the shot and the score.

Well, I am happy. This is far and away the best I have scored yet. Thankyou to everyone who helped me achieve my pb, and for all encouraging comments. And thankyou for having a go at guessing what it was. This part of the challenge was time consuming but fun, and now I am enjoying catching up with what everything was.

I don't know what it is, but it is really cool. Looks like an abstract painting.

A stumper, so meets the challenge. Brilliant abstract. Looks like an ultramodern quilt design. I like the diagonal quadrants. Not normally a border fan but I like this.

don't know what is it, but it would make a great abstract painting to hang on the wall!

Nice colorful abstract. Glass of some sort. I bet it would sell in a gallery.

I haven't the faintest idea what it is. But I like it.

Some sort of modern art ;-) Love the color progression.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2008 02:58:16 PM
I love it......quite abstract.....I love the color shift.....is it colored paper under a tray of water?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/20/2008 10:56:51 AM
No idea, but it makes a great abstract!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is very abstracty. Love the colors. First thing that comes to mind is broken glass.

No idea, maybe a glass window or cutting board? Pretty colours, I think your border is unnecessary.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice abstract - no clue what it is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/19/2008 01:41:15 PM
I'll guess cut up pieces of paper placed under glass and then some water drops on top of the glass?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/19/2008 05:42:24 AM
