It started with a large sheet of sketch paper rolled up into a cone. I took dozens of photos of the inside, outside, and ends of the cone, most of them into a strong light. At one point the cone started unwinding. I took two shots where the light shone through the outer layer and glanced across the inner rolled core of the paper cone. The glowing quality impressed me, although a significant amount of boost was required using curves and HSL.

Nice interpretation of this challenge. I think this scored lower than it deserves, but probably because it's fairly abstract, as well as simplistic. Well done.
I find this to be simply beautiful. The balance of the composition is spot-on. The lighting is exquisite, the tonalities breathtaking. I hope it does well, but I'm afriad it's not "literal" enough in terms of the challenge. Love the title.
Liked the first 3 or 4 books, then it just got too weird for me. Didn't like the Sting movie, did like the 6 hour made for TV movie. Anyway, like the color contrast here, really looks like the edge of the sun. Nice shot!
Tough I realize its paper and your image seems to be, in techical terms, nice and well executed, it doesnt have impact and is not a very interesting one. However, you've managed to create pretty good light/shadow effects. Good luck.
Hmmm...I would have been impressed if you'd gotten a shot of Shai-Hulud! Shai-Hulud used to be my LAN gaming name, but there's something vaguely wrong about having a call sign derived from the name of a worm...
