My first macro shot. We were sitting trying to think of a picture for the surreal challenge and we came up with this idea. I made a powerpoint presentation with the word WIN! written on it. Then Tracy held the laptop close to her face while I snapped a macro shot. I regret that the N! did not come out that well, however I think you can make out what it says. We will see.

Nicely done. The reflected "wine bottle " is not my taste, but the eye itself is magnificent. I personally would like it if imitating a master were not required for judgement of whether or not a picture is surrealistic. I hope those who make that the criteria are familiar with the artistic version of this image. A 9.
Clever idea and an interesting photo. It's an allusion to dreaming; but not very dreamlike and not very evocative of the cognitive confusion of the subconscious.
