| I knew something was strange when this shot popped up while voting. It was like deva ju all over again. You're the first one to use the same specific subject to bring in 2 ribbons! Congratulations and thank you so much for all of your comments on my shots! We should start a "little camera that could" club for the S30! |

Wow! Thanks for all the great comments everyone! Now, for those of you that wanted to know about the cheap tricks I used to create this shot, here goes.
This is the original image that I almost submitted //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=18316.
I decided not to enter it because I felt it was far too abstract to be accepted as viable entry. It's an extreme macro created by mounting a reversed 50mm lens in front of my regular lens, then reflecting light off of a CD and onto a vase that had some nice texture. Viola! Instant homemade aurora.
So what to do? There were about 2 hours left til the deadline, so I wracked my brain for an idea. At some point I looked at my printer and thought, hey... I can print that shot out, then put something in front of it and just use it as a background...
I tried a couple of other glasses, but eventually wandered back to my Son's room to get his graduation martini glass. It's filled with some sort of candle goo and has his graduation info on it, so I used it in pretty much the same upside-down orientation I used for "Spiraling." I really don't have any other options with that glass.
I set the shot up and snapped a series of pics, trying to avoid as many of the nasty reflections as I could. The result was a lot like my previous pic, but I liked it. Besides, I was out of time to try and work up anything else, so I submitted it.
I couldn't be more pleased with the result.

| I have a feeling I've seen this before, maybe in the "yellow" challenge. Its that or a cheap rip off. Even if it isn't, it doesn't have the visual impact that the yellow pic did. But overall a pretty good pic. |

| Your color scheam is marvolous, even pretty but the object is missing form. All in all it is a very colorful shot. I think you need just a little more form exposed and you'll have it caught. |

| Nice easy transition from one color to the next, there are no harsh breaks anywhere to upset the eye. I especially like the way the colors melt into darkness on the right and bottom left hand corner - 9. Haven't I seen this glass before? |
