Challenge: Puzzle Macro IV (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

 This is a tip of the fin of a small glass fish I own.
Here it is in the Inverted challenge [thumb]911273[/thumb]
It deservedly did horribly, so lets hope this one does better.
It is backlit, with a pink background.

I was determined to get a good shot from this figure, so I took this shot and then asked several people about it. They gave me great feedback, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't come up with anything better than this image, so I am submitting the original idea.
I do NOT want to score sub5. Please please no

Nice colors, tones, and minimalism - somewhat lacking in the sharpness department, though

Very beautiful, and very puzzling! The little drop (of oil?) seems to be reflecting itself.

An inverted image of a water drop on a banana leaf?

Interesting use of focus and colours.
