 Abstract - This is a shot of roofing nails submerged in water in a black fry pan. The leader has been painted in florescent orange paint and is slightly longer than the rest of the troops.

Minor cloning of the areas at the point where the nail breaks the water surface. I found it bizarre when I looked at the image and noticed the eyes of all of the troops.

The shot makes me think of the old "Space Invader" Arcade game.

I'm reminded of The Sea of Holes in The Yelllow Submarine movie. There's some image quality lost in the file compression, it seems, so the effect isn't quite as powerful as it should be. Still, it's imaginative, shows good design sense, and makes me wonder how it was done. Ah, and I just noticed all the shapes made an overall shape of a heart. Not sure why that didn't jump out at me right away.

Drill bits or screwdriver tips? Definitely abstract, I'll give you that.
