Cool shot. I didn't know what it was until I read it.

Enzo, I nearly entered a VERY similar image but I couldn't get it as "right" as I wanted to so I did the jam jar one instead. I love the way yours turned out. freakin_hilarious described it to a "T": Abstract yet recognizable.

I see I was not the only one with this idea. Yours did much better than mine. (As it should have, it is much better!) Hmmm. A polarizing filter for a macro. I'll have to keep the idea in mind, thanks.

Abstract yet recognizable. I really like the tones. Interesting DOF and composition as well. Alternate comment: "Damn, that looks cool!"

excellent abstract macro - solid lighting, wonderful shapes and textures, great use of water drops to add contrast - the best macro of this entire challenge
