 Last minute attempt to do the team thing. :)

Cheap glass bottle with stopper.
Shot against a peach colored crepe paper background. Color-shifted with Hue/Saturation because I changed my mind and wanted more water than flame concept.
Rotated 180 degrees because "emergence" was in my head when I shot...also planned to try and confuse people as much as possible. When I rotated and edited I began to see that it felt more like something "submerged"--thus the title.
Other edits include the usual cropping and sharpening.
(I had another orange version that was maddeningly besmerched with a pink reflection from the lamp that I couldn't work out under basic rules....ah, well. Purple it is.)

A really tall round ice cube in a vase or etched candle holder? But the swirly thing on the top confuses me then. Love the colors with the slight hint of a transition to blue and the interesting designs.

Pretty colour. It does look like something submerged but I wonder if it is the inside of a glass paperweight?

I'm STUMPED! I can't even fake it. Does that mean I have to vote a 10? okay, okay, I know the answer to that one! I like the feeling of light & the curving shadowy shapes & the DOF.
