Challenge: Harsh Environments (Expert Editing)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Location: ninth planet
Date: Dec 28, 2006
Galleries: Abstract, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Dec 28, 2006

 Took four images:

1. Sea Moss
2. Stone Walkway
3. Sky
4. Weird organic structure sticking out of sand.

#4 I flipped upside down because I wanted to experiment with disorientation and otherwordliness. Other than that, it was really just desaturated and blended to look somewhat normal, if you know what I mean. Thanks everyone for taking the time....

You fooled the hell out of me, I was sure this had something to do with a frozen lake! Very well done.

Ya know, I studied this for the longest time, and came to the conclusion is was something along the lines of a insect nest/cocoon macro or similar, with what looked like spider legs caught in the upper portion of the cocoon.
Weird and great stuff !

How sweet is that! Trophy! One thing...that line near the bottom...I think could have been blurred or lightened a tad...it just a bit distracting. Otherwise...trophy!

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/29/2006 01:10:40 AM
Stumped on what it is supposed to be, IMO it is very mind boggling.

I am sorry but this shot just gives me slight vertigo from looking at it and I find it unpleasant aesthetically so I just hit the "5" button and moved on, I even went so far to scroll down to write this comment.
