Hi Antonia: many thanks for your comment. Although PSP9 was used to crop, desaturate, adjust contrast etc, this is a real image. To see how it was done, have a look at the second image under Hugo's comment. I think this should make it all a lot clearer!

Speaking of art and technique, this one certainly has both going for it. It also has a lot of zingggg! How'd you do that? Is it real or is it photoshop? Either way, I enjoy it immensely. The motion blur paralleling the still in straight rows of spirals all make for such a strong, engaging image. It is rather intellectual. Antonia

AJ -- Excellent abstract and the final work is superb. A perfect entry for Raw materials IMHO.
Perfect crop & best to show in B&W.

Hugo: I can assure you this is NOT Photoshop (or PSP or anything else - come on, you know me better than that!) The out-of-focus screws are in front. I'd been playing with these screws for days and suddenly saw an image from Ralf that made it all click. Five minutes work this afternoon and it was done.
I did increase the contrast and make a number of other adjustments, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Here's the original image that came out of the box.

Hi AJ,
Very interesting optical illusion, with the head-on angle, it's impossible to tell whether the out of focus screws are in front or away;
The strange thing is, that the imperfections in spacing, and mismatch in thread distance give a strong impression it's a high key image, and a single exposure. yet the almost equal distance between each revolution (the pinch?) make it look as a photoshop induced image, composed of at least two different shots.
In other words, if this was captured in a single shot, the out of focus screws should have a different dimension - as the pinch of the screws is equal, and the diameter seems equal, the out of focus screas should have either a smaller diameter if they're placed closer to the lens, or a wider diameter, if they're placed behind the black screws. But that distance would also be visible, due to the perspective, in the pinch of the threads, which doesn't seem to be the case here....
Rather difficult to explain, but I hope you see what I mean. I get a strong impression they're photoshop. Even IF i'm right, that doesn't affect my appreciation of this photo. Excellent idea, and well carried out.... Mostg of all, it makes me think, and that's a quality I always value in an image....;)
Cheers,
Hugo
