 This was so simple that it isn't funny...I will get beat up for it but have to submit anyways.

Set the screen saver on my computer to beziers, and kicked it of in preview mode (lets you see how it will look).

Lights out in room, camera on a tripod I took a couple hundred shots of those things bouncing around the screen at various slow shutter speeds. Then I had to look at everyone of them...this one jumped out at me.

This is a straigh shot of my monitor with the screen saver on then a few tweaks.

I rotated 90 degrees to get the Heart look.

This is so clever, and I like the simplicity of this one.

The lighting is just right, and I love the way the composition LOOKS like a heart.....

Excellent result.....

Excellent catch of the heart shape! Very cool.

I am sure if DPC allowed larger images this would have done better. The 640 resolution doesn't do it justice--at this size you have a moiré pattern interfering with viewing the smooth flowing pattern which I'll bet is clear at full size.

Did you get any other "natural" shapes?

I have no idea what this is but it is a great abstract and one of my favorites in the challenge. 9

I'm voting on the shot, not the title so I am giving this a high score because it's a beatiful abstract that fits the challenge perfectly. I'm not crazy about the title because I don't see how the heart is being tugged (but nothing is taken from your score for that ;-)

Very creative and don't exactly know how you achieved this. Looks like a screen, but what ever it is it reflects light well. I like the light, the texture, and its abstract feel. Great Job 8
