Setup: The subject is a chrome spiral fruit bowl. I used a single light source, a cheap IKEA lamp with a 60 watt bulb. The red color on the spiral and in the upper half of the background is a reflection from a red cardboard which I moved side to side during the exposure. The movement creates the blur of the red background.
Post processing: I didn't have a cardboard big enough to use with the wide angle I used for the shot so I had to place two of them (blue) side by side. I used the healing brush and clone stamp tools to stitch the background together. I also cloned out some censor dust and some dust on the spiral. I tuned the colors with Selective color layer. Cropped, resized, sharpened and added border.

YES! This challenge had your name all over it (not that I know how to pronounce your name but I fully expected to see it up here) :) Beautiful abstract.
