used an extension tube to make sure it was as out of focus as possible. processing was just a little curves to up contrast slightly and brighten slightly.

Team suck is really helping me to appreciate the more bizarre picts. You had me staring at this one for quite awhile, trying to figure out just what I thought of it!
I found this image to be one of the most intellectual of the challenge. Creating the dots in an unconventional manner is something that almost no one else thought to do. Props to you and this picture.
I can't really see these as polka dots because of all the intersecting lines and the lack of roundness. Nice impressionism (it's impressionism, right?), though the right side is a bit too sharp.
Doesn't strike me as fitting my idea of polka dots, and the image itself is just not grabbing my attention either. Sorry. Have to credit you for an OOTB effort, however.
I love the take on the theme but I am also trying to decide whether there should be something in focus here because I never trust my own instincts and I like it like this ... good luck.
