Macro shot into the interior of a glass doorknob. At this angle, part of the pattern was refracted back in a modified mirror-image, which reminded me of an object reflected in water.
This would also have benefitted from a little spot-editing (not allowed in this challenge).

Greetings from the CC, well this gets points I guess for experimental and creative. And knowing that you have been around here a long time, I suspect you knew this would not score high on dpc. I actually think this image is interesting, I think it may have worked much better tho as a vertical crop, partly cuz it is such a busy image it would of helped to focus the eye, in at least my opinion on the more interesting 'middle' part.
I suspect not possible but had you been able to get this a bit sharper, it would of looked IMHO like a jewel.
I also would like to see the 'white version'.
I like the purple hue in your entry, but there doesn't seem to be a sharp point somewhere. Looks like you've moved the camera while shooting, probably with a long shutterspeed?
