Ah... here's a nice way to break my string of sixes. I think this will get dinged for not being photographic, which is sad because it is nothing but photographic. I shredded a tissue and draped it on a white lamp so it would be brightly backlit. I used CS3 raw conversion to auto-adjust the white balance and the exposure. Then I (ab)used channel mixer to get some color out of it. Then I rotated it and flipped it to get the composition I wanted (I'm light on top and heavy on the bottom). My sexy 100mm lens got all the detail in the weave of the tissue. Anyway, this is me: an intricate tapestry in disarray; complexly shallow; an explosion of fragility; eternity on the edge of extinction; garbage hot and bright; an outtake from the light on white challenge.

This is a case where I really wish I could have read the comments to know what you were thinking when you took this.
Your words describe exactly what your picture is - an "intricate tapestry in disarray" - and it sounds wonderful! I just somehow, visually, didn't quite get it then but wish I had scored it higher, in retrospect.
I, personally, don't like the colors, BUT I do like the textures and the shapes. I also really like that this just isn't a shot of a hobby or profession, but rather speaks to your personality and style. I suspect you are a complex individual, who marches to your own drummer and typically doesn't see things as others see them.
