Chromed tractor seat reflecting sky and trees. Image from RAW in ACR to CS3, Topaz Detail for the tones and Topaz Simplify for the slight abstraction, further desaturation with hue/sat layer, adamus sharpening and save for web.

I don't know how I missed this. Beautiful abstract, I love how you placed the four "magnetic attractors".
Btw looking at the thumb first, I thought it was a cross section of cabbage :).
Scrolling through the challenge results, this one really made me stop and look. Completely baffling. I thought it was water reflecting the trees until I noticed the symmetrical "bubbles." Then I saw the scratches and thought those were an overlay. Finally upon reading your comments the image makes sense. Lovely treatment. A really unique and beautiful abstract.
Be still while the music rises about us -C.A. This abstract relection is something to analyze. You serve the poet well; but will confuse the majority at dpc. Good luck!
