As I took this shot and have cropped it just the right way. It seemed to me as a dream as we go in and out of dreams as we sleep and sometime in color. But also, in black and white. Dreams sometimes has us going around and around and shoot off from left to right or visa-versa. There are light and darks areas of our dreams. We still don't know the mysteries of our dreams. But we do know and understand the make-up of dreams along with the elements and particals that are within.

Post edit info: Unsharpened mask, curves, cropped, selective de-saturation with layer masking, and resized.

The 'loop thing' is obviously the main subject, but, it's cut off. As an unidentified object it's background becomes uncertain. Overall, the pictuare had no reference point - macro shot of a blue spring, or, school jungle gym? - so they viewer doesn't understand if the background is normal for this object or not. Excellent workmanship separating the blue from the background. It's a controversial shot - some will love it, some will leave it...... but controversy only wins words.

I find this fascinating...I like how you are showing something that is sort of mundane and everyday in such a new way. Great angle; love the blue. Nice image! ;o)

Great abstract composition and contrast of textures, shapes, and colors.

I normally don't care for abstract type shots, but this one is done well!

Kid's climbing whatsit? Like it, the angle works well.

I love the idea, but would've preferred this w/o the glare on the left side and that trace of a shadow on the right.
