 The bendy neck of a desk lamp.

Bent the lamp down and around so that the light was pointing back towards me (not on). The reflections to the right of the neck are reflecting in the bottom of the light part, and the color is from the TV. The yellow colored reflections are from a lamp which was above the bendy lamp, and the reds are from a laser pointer which was reflecting off of some aluminum foil to the right.

Way too complicated for such a shot.

PP included some levels/color adjustments, then I ran an acidic filter (I've been quite impressed with Melethia's acidic shots so I downloaded the action). Cloned out some dust spots and did some selective sharpening.

This makes for a very interesting near-abstract. I appreciate all the detail in how you shot it! And glad you played around with the acid bit. It's a fun action - has different effects on different colors and different light/dark combinations - play around with it now and then to see.

Effective composition and great job not blowing things out on such a reflective surface. The creative lighting really paid off and the colors work very well.

I thought it was a phone cord at first. I like the blue line, it adds the right amount of colour to this.

It took me awhile to figure it out. From the thumb I thought spiral notebook. Great processing and it is nice to know what the colors are from.

From the thumb I thought this was a spiral bound notebook. This is a great double whammy image.

Cool shot! Like the red. Did you use the 50mm by itself or add something to it? It seems you got closer than I can get with mine - unless you cropped...

Great diagonal lines and textures. I will have to try that acidic action stuff.
