I like the monotone and it gas a rich feeling to it..... Very abstract.....

This is very interesting in violet and shapes and textures. The textures and items inside one another seem infinite. I really like the moody deep purple lighting.

Love this - would also like to see it processed in other colours

Image knocks me out. I can't decide if I love it for the abstarct nature or if it just confuses me because the shapes don't make sense to me. Actually I love it. This is what macro is all about and even the hot spot works for the whole.

Hi all - thanks for the nice comments!

re brightness: I tried several different lighting effects and would always end-up with a bad hotspot somewhere, so low-light long-exposure it had to be.

re what it is: it's a little glass egg-shaped decorative thing, about 5 inches tall.

re shapes and orientations: I like those a lot too - I could only get them at this angle and in this lighting. I tried flipping it 180 vertically, and the drop looked nice, but the "waves" around it looked even stranger than the drop does now. So I guess think of it as a bubble instead of a drop?

Nice shapes and textures in this shot. I feel that it would look even more mysterious if you rotate it 180 so the "drops" would be hanging from the top.

I have no idea what this is, but it's neat! Great variety of shapes and textures, and the color is neat too. Almost an optical illusion since I'm having a hard time with the depth perception of this one. Interesting!

very creative thinking. I wish it were a bit brighter though. Nice focus and details
