Ah! Almost got my highest score but this dropped just enough at the end to give me my second highest. Still, no complaints here!
Thanks for all the great comments and I'm glad people were happy with the way this turned out. I wasn't sure about a lot of things. I didn't know how the toning would be received or if flipping this upside down would be liked.
This was taken inside the Rhythm City Casino bridge in Davenport, Iowa.
As you can see, the bridge is pretty psychedelic with continually changing rainbow lights. The example above is from an ISO 1600 shot to "freeze" the colors.
For the submitted image, it was actually 3 exposures combined in Photomatix and then processed further in CS3. I toned it because I didn't like the natural colors and I flipped it simply because I thought it looked more interesting.
Too bad I wasn't able to take this during the week of the Rainbow Challenge...

fantastic symmetry and the dual tone processing gives it a "sci fi" feel. plus i am struggling to figure out what's actually depicted here. perhaps an elevator shaft of some sort? well shot.
Glorious. It look me a minute to realize it was upside down. It's hard to put into words how fantastic this is. The color, the processing in general, the point of view, everything is perfect. My only 10 and fav so far!
