Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S9100/9600
Location: Patras
Date: Jun 4, 2008
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 80
Shutter: 1/3
Date Uploaded: Mar 4, 2009

 This one was an old shot that did have some imperfections (mostly in focusing) I first thought it was appropriate for the 1000th challenge. But when I realized how it scored I had to remake it. So this is the newer version

(which did score worst).

Not sure I've ever seen this as a photograph. It is almost shocking to see the shot shift from the candlestick / table to the faces and back again. Not sure what the "fingerprints" are supposed to be, but they help anchor the illusion. Very nicely done.

Are you trying to hypnotize me?!?! :)

Interesting shot... not sure what it is you photographed, but it has an optical illusion like feel to it.

Lights that look like fingerprints, this is cool, very abstract but interesting to look at.

I see faces and a cake stand, really hope you put how you did this in your details.

intresting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:22:02 PM
Interesting, but I almost wish the edges of the light figures were a little sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 10:52:46 AM
not to sure that this is but it reminds me of the x-files, cool anyway
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:36:55 AM
ok , not my cup of tea here , sorry
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not really sure what I'm looking at here, but it's very sci-fi whatever it is.

Interpretation of Topic: Creative Choice
Photography: Good Job
Viewers Reaction: I know the concept of seeing 2 different things here; I think a title of Hidden Vase Faces might have been more helpful.

interesting shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is interesting, an optical illusion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:34:31 PM
interesting abstract.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:31:56 PM
been looking at this one awhile, I'm thinking/feeling that the two "fingerprints" are just a little to bright, they don't feel integrated into the over all image. just my thoughts
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:13:23 AM
Nice graphical view. Beautiful use of light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:31:37 PM
I have no idea what I'm looking at here but it succeeds as an abstract.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:13:35 PM
An interesting study, reminds of work by cutout. one of the more unique and stimulating images I have seen so far.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:44:12 PM
sorry, i can't figure out what is shown in this picture. the fingerprint-like lights are interesting, but i wish they were sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:02:48 AM
Interesting patern
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:59:43 PM
This is certainly unique. I have no idea what it is, but it looks like two totally different subjects, something like fingerprints in the foreground and something like a table in silhouette behind. Interesting abstract.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:37:33 PM
Cool image, I wonder how many folks will 'see' it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:21:40 PM
Intersesting and different.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:04:20 PM
I'm seeing the optical illusions with the lights and shadows in the center, but I'm not seeing the one with the lights on the right and left. Am I missing it or is it not there?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:31:15 AM
Seems OOF and personally I just don't get it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:29:18 AM
cool
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:42:04 AM
What a clever lighting setup, its certainly very original but to be honest I think I would have preferred it without the bright (much too bright) whorls in the foreground
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:41:24 AM
Intersting object, although it lacks sharpness.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:39:59 AM
interesting abstract, i don't personally like it to be honest, but well done shot nonetheless.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:47:36 PM
Could be a little sharper overall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:47:48 PM
i don't quite know what to make of this one...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:55:03 PM
interesting, I'm intrigued to find out what you did to shoot this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:47:58 PM
Interesting abstract!

 03/11/2009 04:33:45 PM
Very interesting. Had to look at it for a while. :)

It's speaking to me, in some sort of foreign language that through further study will become less foreign, less strange...but no less intriguing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:54:23 PM
Weird shot, the lights are very interesting. Good use of three.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
