A large piece of congealed blood (scab), shot with backlighting through through the translucent top of a yogurt container. Handheld, but braced using my super-mini tripod with "gooseneck" legs (about $5.00 at Ritz).

I am the only one who voted this a 10?!? Harrumph! I actually think it is cool that the image is of something not particularly appealing. You made it look good. Nice work.
Oh that's just gross.... And what's worse is that so many thought it was pretty. eeeeewwwwwww. So who peeled the scab off for this shot and how'd they get hurt in the first place.....
Ahhh yes, I remember this well, falling asleep under the enchanted woods, and waking up and looking up at this exact sight. Beautiful it was, just beautiful. Thank you for recreating it for me. Nice shot... 8
Very cool, love the colours. I guess homemade paper but it could be a leaf, flower or other type of plant.
Back for another look, there seem to be little holes in it. Is this a lampshade (odd guess I know), or maybe a piece of fruit sliced really thinly.
Looks like a leaf, but it sure is interesting. Nice lighting and exposure too. Maybe one of those whisper thin petals. I can't think of the name of the tree now. I'll be checking back to read your comments. I like it!
this one is tough, first I thought it was a piece of stone, like amber with light behind it, but I think it may be something under a microscope like a mole or cancer or something like that.
Or else what?!?!? It could be a closeup of a leaf maybe. As much as I like selective focus, I think, in this case, the image would benefit from being sharp all over. The light glares also hurt a bit. I like the golden colours. ~5
