very interesting horizon, i like the effect. seems to be a photograph more about that than the theme of "4", though.

Why the blue saturation? looses all organic feeling shown this way.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments!

I found it very amusing that, while the voting was going on, there was a forum thread regarding "saving" a photo by "funny" cropping. I so much wanted to use this image as an example...I don't think anyone has mentioned recognizing what otherwise might have been a pretty ordinary urban sunset photo...

For the curious, here is a link to the original frame from which I extracted my entry.

I really like this. The colours and textures are gorgeous. I'm guess it's just skin under a microscope, or maybe a scab? Whatever it is, I get the same kind of feeling from it as a Jackson Pollock painting.

Doesn't look real this color. Should have left natural color. Beautiful texture though. PTL
