WOW .. 7th place .. i'm pretty pleased with that considering the calibre of abstract images that entered the challenge ..
i took this especially for this challenge and its not archival .. in fact all the archival challenges i've entered lately have been taken after the challenge has been announced ..
after this had gone in for voting ... of course .. i realized that i should have cropped the top a bit so it was less obvious what this was ..
who does that a lot .?.
something goes in for voting and then you have the ahha moment .. !!?? .. me .. ;)
anyway ... thankyou thankyou everyone for your comments during voting .. much appreciated .. xx

I would not have trim the top Roz! terrific image. I started to comment and then I got sidetracked.
The multiple possibilities of this image are making it abstract even if I recognized the steamer. A beehive in a steamer! seriously good
i took many of photos of water coming out of the tap in my kitchen sink onto the vegetable steamer .. i'd take a heap of shots and then upload them onto the computer and check them out .. i did that several times ..i wanted the water totally in focus and a pleasing composition as well .. not an easy thing to get especially as the tap was getting in the way of the lens .. i tried 3 different lenses in my attempts as well .. i've never done anything like this before so it was a real learning curve .. water does have a mind of its own .... anyway when i saw this one i felt i had the one i wanted .. i rotated the image in photoshop and then did a heap of stuff to it ...
Thanks for explaining me. Finally I unterstand that the vergetable steamer is a circular basket anyway - I didn't get that before ... I use a pressure cooker so this item wasn't familiar to me... lol
Glad you didn't crop it - the upper part is interesting and abstract enough! If if cropping at all then crop it at the bottom and on the sides and make a square out of it
But how did you do it? Just shoot into your sink from above? And then?
thankyou so much for your comment Barbara .. i kept the bottom so there was more of the 'funnel' coming down from the 'space ship' .. into the darkness sort of .. like a bit foreboding ..
