This is water and ice. rotated upside-down, cropped out most of the dark water, used calculations to black and white, used hue/sat to colorize it a sandy color (I blended the hue/sat with overlay to make it glow a bit), then I put on some curves for brightness and contrast. resize. USM. voila!
p.s. I used our new monopod to keep the camera still for 1/15 of a second! I'm really impressed that the wide-angle captured what looks like a macro to me.

Posthumous - This is a pretty abstract shot. It's difficult to tell exactly what I'm supposed to be seeing, even after reading the description. Its difficult to determine how far away you were when you took the shot. The first thing that came to mind when I saw the shot was, "What is it?" And there's not enough to really grab my interest. It looks like the 1/15 sec exposure still gave you a bit of camera shake. It makes it not perfectly clear and although I don't think its a huge drawback to the photo overall, the voters tend to hate that. I didn't vote in this challenge, but I think I would have voted along the lines of the masses on this one. I wish you would have made the lines in the picture more of the focus of it.
So bottom line for me is I really don't get it. I don't see any relevance to the challenge looking at only the picture. Sorry. I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time. - Bob
This is good. Because it has no certain meaning, it allows many. It's also filled with little rewards for the patient observer. My personal interpretation (at least today) is about Time. 10.
