 3 shots combined in Photomatix, Topaz Adjust for noise, levels and saturation in CS4.
This is the underside of "Eagle" , 1971, by the late great Alexander Calder.
It is a bit of a warped "X". I hope the voters cut me some slack for a change.

A bit too noisy in the shadows (HDR will do that... I'm assuming it's HDR... it looks like it's HDR...), and the "X" IS kind of twisted. Nice colors in the sky, and the red is sexy. 6

A bizarre angle and aptly named photo. I'm getting some noise on my side and I don't really see a true 'X' or '+' but I know it's there. I should score it a 9 but I'm going with 10 'cause is so unusual to me.

Great photo but I don't like making it valid because your Title says why it should be.
