Day 13 of Whatevers
Anybody want to guess what it is? I would never have thought to take this picture if it weren't for the side challenge but I really like it!
PP - converted from RAW, rotated slightly, cropped, increased contrast and decreased gamma, burnt/cloned out stray light spots, resized, sharpened.

Nope, not glass. Keep trying ;-)
Not metal, either, though it does look like it.
Not foil.
It is a portable reflective surface ... reflecting one electrically-powered object in my home. There's been one other image of this type of electrical object much earlier in the thread; I don't remember any of the reflective surface but it's a reasonably common one, though it's not usually a solid color. If no one's guessed them by the time I have a new image ready for today I'll tell y'all what you're seeing.
OK, no winners!
It's the reflection of a ceiling fan that has a light in the middle, reflected off of a solid black back cover on a hardcover book. |

| Now that you tell me what it is... I can plainly see that it is, indeed, a fan. That's amazing. Good eye! |

| For some reason, the first time I layed eyes on it I immediately thought of a tornado. Really cool shot. |

| I'd have guessed it was some sort of lighted creature emerging from the depths! Cool shot, and nifty that you saw it and shot it in the first place! |

| Looks like hammered gold, I never would've figured out what it really is! This really would make a cool overlay :-) |

Hmm, I have no idea, looks like some kind of glass object, maybe a bowl or vase?
It feels like I'm lying on the bottom of the ocean looking up at the moon through the ripples on the surface... : ) |
