 What is this, you ask?

For the heat challenge, I went to a glass blowing place.

The artist let some glass slowly drizzle onto a stainless steel table, just so I could take a photo of it in motion like that. Then they even finished the annealing process on it and let me pick up the result the next day.

I love how different people see different things in it. A still life bowl of fruit, dragons etc. I mostly see Cinderella's coach :-)

Converted from RAW, then very little post processing done to it.
I bet I'll get plenty of "oversharpened" comments - which I didn't do.
It won't do well, but at least it's different.

What the? My word that is complex. The lighting and setting is absolutely superb. The only thing I can say is that the glass structure is so complex and busy that it is hard to say where to look.
