Ohh.... I hope I don't regret this entry!! It's a little far out. :)
Used girly, round soap (slightly used) on a black background. Used a battery powered fiber optic light and a small LED flashlight to light up one side.
Took photo in dark bathroom, 4 second exposure. Exposed soap with LED flashlight then ran fiber optic light around the soap.
In Photoshop.... Noise Ninja, cropped, sharpened a little, added layers with color and light adjustments, cloned out some dust, dodged and burned, flattened, saved for web.

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT .. love the thought that went into this and how it turned out ..
whimsy at its best ... the colours are stunning .. it just glows ..
i particularly love how it could be anything .. anything at all .. its a beautiful abstract .. :)
This is a great shot. Apparently, the feeling was typical. I am curious about the color. My experience with LED flashlights is that they are very blue white. In any event, your soap reminds me of images of Jupiter. You must have been very busy in that 4 seconds.
I am not at all surprised that it was published. It is wonderful.
Congrats on getting published.... this photo is so fine - I am planning on trying to follow your instructions to make me a planet too - won't look this good though
Thanks for all of your nice comments!! My second best finish so far!
I am thrilled you like this photo. It was scary for me to submit and it shows that sometimes you can do something out of the ordinary with positive results.
Mick, you gotta vote more often! ;)
Sadly, my planetoid lost most of it's mass and became the victim of a black hole! :D Yuk Yuk! :b
I had to spend a little more time on this one (you can say it got longer exposure!). Very interesting composition, and it certainly grabs your attention. well done
Very, very, cool. This one has a "how'd they do that" written all over it. I'm pretty sure I know about the light, but I'm curious about the planet. It kind of looks like a melon. 10.
