I had been playing around with the polarised light when I realised that it would make a great entry for this challenge.
I made the swans out of cellophane paper.
Placed them in front of a laptop screen with the Ubuntu screensaver on.
Switched off all other lights and took the picture.

Ohhhh sooo HAPPY :-). The votes had slipped from almost 6,5 to 6,3 when I went to bed last night, and I honestly did not expect a good finish. What a super surpsie :-). ...top 10 ... top 10 ... top 10 .... yeahhhhhh :-)
And not a single "1" or "2" - Oh MY WORD!

LOL, thank you on the "interesting" origami. I assume you are not an expert in the field :-). If you look at the image I had to use several pieces of sticky tape to keep everything in place - a real "no-no" in Origami, but then this was a "photo" challenge, plus the sticky tape added some interesting colour pattern to it, so I thought it would be "allowed" :-).
