Fifthbeatle: good job and congrats on # 1

ROPnam: WOW, just WOW :D.

Thanks for sharing!

zunazet: Magical indeed!

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.

Marzena: Recently I have become somewhat prejudiced about this contest - since my difficult riddle has been disclosed so easily LOL
Yours looks hard really. Good one too.

What is it? by krt

Nikoneer: Those non-symmetrical oblong shapes with the lighter colored edges must be the open ends of the more flat, light- to medium-blue shapes, so that means those shapes are hollow. Some are open, some are not. There appears to be a gelatinous surface inside the open ones, and they have what look like spores on the outside. I think they may be organic and possibly aquatic. I used to be a scuba diver and remember seeing underwater plants, sponges, even some corals that look a lot like this. As for the bright yellow, orange, and green irregularly rounded shapes... molds or egg sacs? I've been doing pretty well with figuring out many of the submissions for this contest but I'm really not sure about this one. I give a 9 for color and a 7 for suggested creepiness. It would make an interesting screen but I can't dance to it. What? You never watched American Bandstand back in the 50s and 60s?

Then again, it's possible it's a sculpture. While most of it is organic in shape (but not really color, unless this is a lost episode of "Star Trek"), just below the main cluster of yellow and orange globules there is a flat dark gray area running about half-way across the photo, plus another 5 or so small spots of the same flat gray material scattered about, almost like a base that all these shapes were attached to. There's also two square-edged light shapes below that same cluster that are definitely not globular in character. In fact they look a little bit like pieces of double-sided tape. Hmmmmm.

But... again, then again... it could be the inside of the head of one of brothers-in law. I've always had my suspicions about the way he thinks.

Ah well, you've promised to tell us so we'll just have to wait. Good luck in the contest.
