For the PG 101 "What Is It?" theme. And since it's for that, I won't say right now what it is, but what it definitely IS NOT is DD. It's a straight shot.

Vicki L. Filippin November 30, 2008
WOWZA! Straight shot? Most excellent, Mitch! I'll have to ponder a bit more on what it is.Melissa Olsen November 30, 2008
Well...it whatever it is...it is fantastic! #6829618Nikki McDonald November 30, 2008
Cool light, Mitch. My first thought was some sort of oil spill but why it would be suspended above the background like this is beyond me. #6829638Michelle Alton November 30, 2008
Unbelievable work. No idea what it is, but I love it! #6829650Carolyn M. Fletcher November 30, 2008
Beats me! I love it anyway, no matter what it is! #6829674Katarina Mansson November 30, 2008
Love the colors, clarity and comp. I think it is water (maybe with a bit of glycerin in it) on a piece of glass above a black-and-red piece of paper or something. HTD! #6829675Judy A. Lawhon November 30, 2008
What ever it is, its really cool, Mitch!! Great job!! #6829727Renata Gusciora November 30, 2008
Unique!Intriguing shot,Mitch!:-) #6829772Melinda F. Schneider November 30, 2008
I agree with Katarina. And I love anything with water!! #6829806Joy Rector November 30, 2008
don't know but love the shapes #6830021Dr Silly November 30, 2008
I agree with Katarina. :O) #6830053Usman M. Bajwa November 30, 2008
Mitch, this looks like water spilled on a thick glass table top underneath which a dark paper with something glowing red is projected. Thats the best I could think of. IT IS INDEED LOVELY.UB. #6830462
Pat Gamwell November 30, 2008
Incredible shot of ???! LOVE it! #6830511Ron McEwan November 30, 2008
Its a great abstract art work Mitch. I would guess that it is water or oil droplets in reflection of light. #6830668Kerry Hill November 30, 2008
This is so beautiful, Mitch!! Excellent detail, colour and clarity!!! Awesome image!! #6830802Mike Clime November 30, 2008
Cool capture, Mitch! #6830852Mitch Spence November 30, 2008
OK, I guess it's time to say what it is. It's a crop from an old slide from a time when I was experimenting with setups like this. It's corn syrup on a sheet of glass and the background is paper--I had one sheet of red paper on the bottom and cut the green sheet in a wavy pattern and separated the two pieces and placed them quite a ways down from the glass so as to throw them out of focus. Lit with a couple of photo floods. The only things I did here were to clean up some of the slide scan stuff and a couple of distracting thingees, crop, and boost the color some. #6830864Susie Peek-Swint November 30, 2008
This is cool Mitch .. I was guessing along the lines of the others but thought oil rather than corn syrup .. I love the centre shape which looks like a dolphin to me ~ great theme entry!Mitch Spence November 30, 2008
That's fun, Susie, that it seems like a dolphin to you. Somehow in my particular dream, it looks like a dog chasing a tadpole. LOL. And, BTW, congrats to all who thought glass plus water or oil or like that, because that was very close. #6831020Susana Ms Heide November 30, 2008
A dog chasing a tadpole... oh wait a minute you just revealed it... but HONESTLY, that was going to be my guess!! Just kidding, I was thinking more along the lines of UB :o) Fantastic work, Mitch! #6831368JO ANN CLEVELAND November 30, 2008
I thought it was oil that made it look dark and under was the red. I have done some drops on glass and captured the flower or whatever, but this is most unique Mitch #6831798Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna November 30, 2008
OH WOW!!!!! Awesome work on this fantastic 101 assignment, Mitch!!!!! :-) k #6832047Shelly A. Van Camp December 01, 2008

I didn't look to see what it was before I guessed ... I'm thinking water droplets on a glass-topped table with something red underneath. OK, now I've read what it is--very cool! Big congratulations on your finalist, Mitch!! #6921816Vladan D. Djordjevic December 21, 2008
