I love ray shots like this. This one is especially intersting because you can see the light reach the water!

I like this one over the other, just because I think the smoothness fits this better than the grain.

Very nice and bold colors. The processing seems to have blurred it slightly, could just be me....

I really think this is one to move into the forum. Personally, I see, along with the title, the start of life, the universe, and everything. This photo is simple, with only a few shades of gray and to me, represents the proverbial start of the big bang. The negative space around the most basic universal shape (sphere) really implies the sense of nothingness. The symbolism of the sphere is quite distinct.

If this was a free study, I'd get the score, but for the challenge title and the title of this photo, I think there is a good fit. Abstract, sure. But what great photo isn't?

??? If there was an under-rated challenge, this would win the blue. This is a fantastic photo. I am quite puzzled that this scored so low!!!!

Wow! Very nice edit. What was once a flat image now has a contrast that adds a lot of depth to it.
