This was actually very simple setup. The first idea was to use an handheld double sided mirror that has a magnifying glass on one side and normal glass on the other side (I don´t know it those mirrors have any particular name). The camera was placed above the mirror. I tried various thin material to put under the mirror but in the end I used a printet image of an outtake from the “Water” challenge, an image with heavy blue color and... this is the outcome. I took the photo on a window sill and used only natural day light.

Looks good. Bright color + sharp + abstract + macro = probably should do well.
