It is hard to keep the image steady. The effect is cool, and disorienting.

The symmetry is very nice...

I like how the ribs curve too.

The ribs in the smaller version don't bend like these...they're more boxy. That's why I prefer this one.

Nice shot!

The second one is an attempt at obscuring the identity of my subject. I just wanted lines.

I think we ought to do a contest on this type of photo. If ever we get to do a contest again
I'm saving ideas for themes.
Your photo is wonderfully inspiring.

Later this week I will be getting a tripod more suitable for macro. Hand held macro is challenging.

I can't wait to start using it.

I am thinking of starting a retouch challenge soon. We could do the challenges until polling is added.
