 I couldn't resist going out with a very unusual image, this was an accident, I had the camera on a tripod and used autofocus (mistake #1) also never thought to check exposure (mistake #2) it was WAY over exposed like 6 steps or more. It completely blow out the wall to a glowing white and haloed everything else, the only thing it picked up the dark red valve and fire hose hookups. so I sharpened it to oblivion (more halo, lol) and ran a high pass filter at fairly high settings and desated, this is the result, I like it. I thought to check my settings after this shot and they came out normal....and boring, LOL.

For some reason, this made me think of a gents toilet!!! (Man I need to get out more)

Love the disembodied feel to the image and really glad that you closed on one of your out there abstracts.

You have provided so many remarkable pictures during the challenge I tip my hat to you

It looks like a ghost valve, or something. And also, like neat image was applied to soften everything but those two valves. Another cool, fun image from you! Thanks for keeping in this till the end. I just loved seeing what you were going to post... Take care! And also, thanks for all the wonderful comments. You make it lots of fun!
