 This is just a light reflection on a CD. This was an outtake of the Burst of Color II challenge. Not a whole lot of edition other than some USM, color saturation, rotation, crop, and frame.
I know I will be competing with marvelous shots in this challenge and this is actually not my best one, but I wanted to post something different.

OMG!!! I was SO close to getting my first ribbon! Shame it was going to be a brown one though! LOL

I really want to thank you all who took the time to rate and even comment on my picture. This if the first time I got so many comments, and I truly appreciate them. To those who were wondering what this was, there is a comment to it, but it was a very simple shot. I knew it was not going to do really well, although I honestly didn't think it was going to do this bad! I must admit, I keep my monitor rather dark, and I noticed that if I increase its brightness, my picture can be a bit too harsh. It should have been darker. I have to remember from now on that I actually see things darker than they really are! I didn't clone out the dust, since that was supposed to be the star field!

I also want to apologize for mispelling my title, it's "across" not "accross". I had realized that, but I couldn't change it anymore, and then someone else noticed it too!! LOL Oh well!

Anyway, thanks again for your patience in voting and commenting. There were SO many wonderful shots in this challenge!

PS: popdeepop, where you just kidding about buying this!??? if you were not, it's yours, its price is 0.00!

Cute way to play with expectations.

Wow, I like this. I'm curious what I'm looking at, actually.

In a flash......Nice image.

As a comet picture, or even a physics optics picture, this might work.. but otherwise, I dont know what it is I am looking at.

A bit hot on the white. Nice colors, though.

Wow! Spell? I like this idea. Send me a file. Where can I buy? It would be neat in my office. Spectroscopy!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 05:35:26 PM
im really sorry and please dont take it personally but i have to give 1

and without that frame maybe i gave 2 but still this is (in my opinion) wrong even for abstract (because of its quality)


take care and good luck ;D

what am I looking at? spectrum, yes, dust lint I think so, what?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:43:53 PM
Details are a bit lost and the colors feel a bit too processed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:19:05 AM
I can only say I don't like this...not because I don't know what it is but for me there is no definition, no texture and it appears to have noise that doesn't work here. I like soft but this doesn't work for me as soft either.

Colourful

Is this light reflecting on a CD? Intense colours.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:32:19 PM

A great abstract
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I don't know what I'm looking at, but it's lovely and dramatic :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:37:42 AM
I'm curious about how you did this. The colors are very vibrant.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:28:37 AM
I am perplexed, not sure what this is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:27:22 AM
What is this?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:22:20 AM
No idea what this is. Very abstract.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:22:11 AM
doppler?

 03/13/2009 05:30:50 PM
so many artifacts in your photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:06:38 PM
The color spectrum you picked up here is out of this world (sorry, couldn't help myself). Seriously, I really do like the colors. The abstract quality of this is kinda cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:19:47 PM
I don't think so... this just don't execute well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:24:45 PM
I'm not sure why, but this just doesn't do it for me. Normally I'm a fan of abstracts. Maybe the colors are just too garish. I think the border doesn't help the cause.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:24:25 PM
Nice abstract with interesting colors!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:22:18 PM
I like the range of colors, but I've no idea what I see here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:40:07 AM
I have no idea what this is, but the colors are really neat. Not digging the border though. And as this is advanced editing, you could have cleaned up all those distracting spots.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:13:58 PM
this is nearly brown
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:44:28 PM
love the concept, but for advanced I would have cleaned up the dust, they just don't work for me even imaging them as a star field.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:24:45 PM
Looks like a Light Saber....go Star Wars!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:46:17 AM
This shot just doesn't do it for me. It seems to abstract for my liking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:48:52 AM
brutal. hurts my eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:46:40 PM
Must be lots of dust out there in the universe!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:38:56 PM
Very unique. Hope there is a description to how this was done as I find it fascinating.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Psychedelic
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:13:27 PM
Im not much for this kind of editing and lighting. Very abstract tho. The frame is a little to big but adds another color for sure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:15:54 PM
interesting image

 03/11/2009 04:26:40 AM
