A NEAR PERFECT PLANETARY ALIGNMENT CIRCA 2008

David,

 

I have looked and looked and made it larger and looked some more. Although compelling and beautiful....What IS it? My guess is the reflection of the sky in a puddle? Anyway, gorgeous color and form.

 

Best regards,

Tammy

Thanks for the view. I'm going to show you the original, but I hesitate, because I know there are those who will find the original better (and that will hurt my tender feelings :) ).

I too thought it was a water reflection.

Sorry about your tender fellings but ... well....you know.

That's because you see everything in this world as a reflection. :)

I'm devastated!

You'll get over it David , they always do :-)

 

Those ghastly posterization rings look kinda cool, like contour lines on a topographic map, either that or I spent too much time reading topo maps last week and I'm now seeing those lines everywhere.

I saw a fingerprint there.

 

I'm almost over it, but I'm researching you for the purposes of retribution. LOL

Now that you mention it...

 

 

To paraphrase the often used expression of Hans " I await your ( retribution ) with bated breath " :-)

and I thought you caught a reflection off the body of Hubble Space Telescope.

In fact, that blue distortion looks like the famous Crap Nebula (oh, is it Crab Nebula?). You know, there are other veggie juices with much less salt. I was going to give it 7 for originality, but the system would allow it. Cheers, Micheal

Wow. I don't usually like this kind of messin' around, but you fooled me, and I like it.

You missed it. It's the Big Dipper. Ha ha. Blue veggie juice, that's what the world needs.

Thanks for the nice comment and generous rating of a fairly universally disliked image. You're definitely against the grain on this one, but maybe that just shows you have better taste. :)

Beautiful, David. Excellent treatment. Actually, I'd rather have the processed version than the original. The ondulations, the color and the light that remind us of a lit swimming-pool by night are all visually appealing.

Thanks. Maybe the trend is turning. Most early commentators did not much care for the treatment. It's one of those that can easily do that, but I'm glad you found some merit in it.

I dig it. I thought of a topo map, too. On acid. Very interesting image. Cheers, Jay

Thanks. Now, about that acid............:)

NASA take notice. Next, you're going to be using your photos to provide evidence that people actually walked on the moon. Balderdash. People walking on the moon--how silly...

 

 

I like the posterization. It gives a topographical feel to space.

Thanks. Always such a pleasure to hear from you. You've been posting some really fine work lately.

David, you have shown us how imagination and photoshop can produce wonderful result.Caption is "near perfect" :-)

What's this nonsense about men on the moon? You guys need to go a bit easy on that

'window pane' .

Once again I'm indebted to you for your encouragement. Thank you

Considering you were seeing butt crack when viewing an elephant's foot, I'm not too sure you should be talking. I think in your case it is too much time in the sauna. LOL

So, once again, who else on PN could start a conversation like this over a picture of 4 light bulbs? This is very cool! I like what you've done and it does look like some kind of astronomical image.

 

Have a great day!

 

Dick

Thanks. Yeah, I make mediocre images, but get some great conversations. I can hardly wait until I make a really good image. Can you imagine the conversation it would generate? :- /
