Fire and Ice by nanadoo

Xetxuna: If this is directly from camera to screen this is an incredible capture indeed! Just WOW.

Fifthbeatle: good job and congrats on # 1

AlatarielIdril: Um.... yeah, WOW! Very cool!

Logun7: Congratulations!!!

Nikoneer: I covered up your explanation so my wife could try to figure out what it was... she thought champagne bubbles. Without your explanation I don't think I would have gotten it either but you're right... pure magic! I'm gonna keep this one. I'd wish you good luck in the contest but I don't think you'll need it. Your colors, angle of the shot and DOF are perfect. The out-of-focus pinpoints of light, octagonal in shape, remind me of being a child, taking my glasses off, and sliding under the Christmas tree (I was considerably smaller then)... the tree lights farther from me looked like this and was one of the coolest memories I have as a kid. This brings it right back.

Hmmm - What is it? by luckyshot

krt: I suspect this may well win the current contest! Beautiful shot, very well executed. Recommended for the permanent gallery.

Logun7: Congratulations!!!

Nikoneer: Yeah, it has to be a glass vase or bowl. The giveaway is the bubbles I'm seeing here and those swirls of color are sometimes created by rolling the hot molten glob of glass in small shards of broken colored glass or dribbling other molten colored glass onto the original glob, sometimes pinching the glass with long tweezers to get the color to flow in other directions. Each time some color is added, the glob is spun at a speed fast enough to spread the color through centrifugal force. The glass glob is put back into the furnace each time another layer of color is added. I think this one took some time to create.

Oh, What IS It? by cynlee

gonedigital: It's good to see all those kids enjoying themselves Cindy there aren't enough people shots on Caedes. In the UK photographers aren't allowed to photo children under the age of 16 without the guardians permission. )o:

PS: Good luck in the competition.

In&Out by zunazet

Nikoneer: I know what this is but I'll send my answer to you in a PM so as to not give it away to anyone else viewing it (but it's a *a** *****). And Chris is right about the diagonals; they enhance the image and also help disguise what it is. Good luck in the contest.

What is it? by krt

mesmerized: I like the colors but they do throw me off as it otherwise makes me think of something internal and unpleasant...good luck in the contest.

Marzena: Tell us, tell us, tell us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LynEve: I have no idea what it is - the colours are an attractive mix.
