    Well, I started playing around with this photograph, I liked the shape of the substrate. As soon as I maximized the exposure I got this strange effect. This was shot with Canon Xsi, iso 200 f/11 1/400 sec, with a 24- 105 @ 32 mm. Guess what this is?

    Kat, I give up-I don't know what this is but I do like it very much. It has a out of this world look to it almost like an intimate look of the moon. My personal preference would be to take some off the top but I can see that you want to include the edge for some depth and interest. Nicely done. Please do let us know what it is after a few more have guessed!!

    Hi Katherine I have no clue, but I love the colours and that yellow colour is cool. My guess would be an aerial view of something, but I know you will say it is something completely different.

    Looks like coffee ground to me but I don't think a close up with that hardware would work. Did you go to Neptune to shoot this??? I heard there was water on that planet...My only other guess is a low lying beach scene at the waters edge while playing with white balance...

    Its snow.

    Thanks you guys! Not Neptune but close; this was taken in the Canadian Northwest Territories in January at around 9AM in poor light. In Bridge, as shot, with all other filters cranked up to the max and the color brought back into the green a bit. Which made the shadows a weird opaque /neon blue color (well, they are already blue, as you can see) Then sharpened in CS3.

    English-speaking Canucks like to say ruefully that the Innuit have many words for snow. And that we can think of a few choice ones, ourselves. ;)

    That is the neatest photo of snow I've ever seen in OOTB! Fantastic! I was thinking it was an aerial view of a desert lake somewhere!

    Love the colors and the curves - I could go for a crop off the top as well but also like this version.

    Shucks Jules, thanks.

    It reminds me of a particularly dreadful butterscotch pudding my mother made, may she rest in peace. And never make that pudding again. :)

    Come to think of it, it was out of the box too. Hmmm.
