Even better now that I know what it is. Although I did vote this image a #10 so how could it get better than that? Congrats on your placing!

Nice picture. I thought it was a cheese grater but the appearance of flames threw me off. Great take on the challenge. Congrats on a high finish.

I on the other hand would never have guessed cheese grater. Great job, amazing finish and execution.

The inside of a cheese grater? I agree, it does look like dancing flames.

Now thats cool. Not sure what it is, but the lighting is sweet and it does look like a bunch of lil ants just lit their bonfires. Nice work.

Cheese GRATER

Very, very nice. This looks metallic but I suppose it could be glass. Love the colours, I assume they're a reflection and this is actually clear or black. Great DOF in this photo. I can't guess as to what it is....it's a great photo for this challenge, one of my top picks.

Back for another guess, bubble wrap? Probably not though.
