It's an old cooking "war" wound.

Pink Mystery...

Definitely someone's head, you can clearly see the parted hair, probably reflected from the surface of a pink balloon.

I would say a pink christmas bulb.

K...here's what I got so far:

Clock in bottom left
window + sill upper right

Clock would not reflect of someone head (unless they had real problems) plus the hair like items go in several directions which no comb in the world would achieve.

This lines are much the same as those made by a brillo pad cleaning something in a circular motion...other random scratches could have been made by some utinsel.

The reflections tell me this has a pretty good concave angle on it...

Are we having Chinese Food today Bear? It looks like a well kept Wok to me...the good kind not that T-Fal stuff.

Looks like a toy that I used a lot as a kid for down hill snow sledding, a concave disk, made of metal, but now days mostly made of plastic.

More like a pretty well kept secret to me!

Besides, Bears don't Wok, they RUN!

I think that is the camera lens. And, I may be imagining it, but on the lens, there appears to be the rough shadow of a man holding up a pair of maracas - of which this may be one.

I would be impressed with myself if I had spotted that one correctly. As it is, I am sure that tiredness is causing hallucination...

Yep - definitely a Coolpix 5700 reflected in the bottom left. But part of the "maracas" may be the lens configuration.

Top right def seems to me to be cupboards with a rail for hooks underneath - very kitcheny.

So - further conclusion we can reach is that there was a camera present.

to me it looks like the hood of a car thats been buffed a little too much.

Okay - I have enlarged and enhanced the lens with a view to catching the reflection on the lens of the reflected camera.

I think that I can probably prove beyond reasonable doubt my maracas theory:





Incontrovertible, I think!

Here's the result of a bit of processing, clearly showing the reflection of the room. I did the following on this:
- Used just the green channel
- Radical curves adjustment to bring out the image more
- Gaussian blur to de-emphasize the in-focus scratches on the metal surface
- Focus Magic deconvolution to try to recover some sharpness in the reflection.



IMO this is a reflection of a kitchen, to be sure. We are looking at the room reflected in a brushed metal surface that is positively curved (convex toward the camera).

Good job on the details. Not so sure about your "up" - have suggested an alternative interpretation here:

Perhaps it is time to involve the FBI.
 04/19/2005 08:05:29 PM · #92
I will have to give the photo a 6.....I just don't get it....definately doesn't fit the challenge.

As we are supposed to be photographing jewellery this week, dare I suggest that it's a really close macro of a pink stone in a piece of jewellery? Most stones will get scratched like that with use.

I have found.... a miracle!!

Look - I highlighted it earlier, but really looks like a face reflected in the camera lens in the bottom left of the image - I have burned it a little to make it clearer (though the detail is in the original if you only take the time to look). Is that the Virgin Mary??? Or Mother Theresa???

Here in Arizona they have pink handcuffs in Phoenix. [/quote]

Is that to discourage criminals being taken alive?

That's a miracle indeed, but I think it's Little LuLu, not a religious icon :-) I never saw that. And I'm still not sure I did. There's some amazing detective work going on here, with Kirbic and the Beagle egging each other on. I give credit to Kirbic for identifying definitively that the location is a kitchen, and to Beagle for setting kirbic straight on the fundamentals of up-and-down. However, it's not a picture "of" a kitchen.

No. It's not.

People are homing in on it though. All the elements have been more-or-less identified except the mystery ingredient, which nobody will be able to identify. The problem is, none of the identified components have been connected to the others to make a definitive whole. I'll expose the rather mundane reality at rollover, or shortly thereafter.

Robt.
