Believe it or not, this is the pipework surrounding one of the engines of a SR-71 Blackbird, the semi-retired Mach3 spyplane, which was on display (along with the aircraft itself) in one of the hangers at RAF Duxford, part of the Imperial War Museum.
Post processing work included: rotating 89 degrees, cropping, inverting, cloning out a few lines in the top corners (nothing major), and playing with the levels. The shot itself was taken with flash, so inverted from a golden brown to these great shades of blue, so I didn't need to use any hue-shifting.

Congratulations! Thanks for demonstrating that negative/inverted images can score well when it's used appropriately. Hope you're not violating the Patriot Act.
Congratulations on your 19th placing with this scy fi entry. When I first saw this image I wondered from what source? Well, it blew my mind. This is a real cool(lol} image.
OK, this looks like the brain of a rocket scientist! Very Complex subject, nice job finding it even more impressed if you actually understand it! Anyway, well presented and executed with nice detail.
