 I find this mesmerizing.. Stare at the center of the image, take a few deep breaths, and relax your face and eyes. Revel in the peace.

I may have left the blacks too deep, we shall see. I'm going to guess that this will pull a 4.8 to 5.2. BTW, this is a 1:1 macro of the center of 12" stainless steel fry pan.

Thank you undieyatch for the recognition in the Posthumous thread.

oooh, groovy! heh

i like this 3-d kind of look with the change in light patterns. it looks like you've caught something spinning. that's pretty cool.

Great abstract. Exceptionally well presented. Super wonderful tones, with no extreme blacks or whites. Magnificent detail. My favorite in this challenge. 10

I think this might have been more interesting if it weren't so perfectly centered. Interesting choice of subjects.

Interesting abstract, but it's more like a background than an actual subject.
