Fantabulous - well done Pete. Congratulations!!

I'm realy curious - what is the black shape midway down on the left hand side? For the life of me I can't figure it out.

Many thanks, guys. I'm really pleased with my shot as well, I was blown away when I first saw it on my lcd screen. I've never been able to recreate it since. It's basically just a cooking oil drop on a CD with a flash bounced from behind.

Ones that I enjoyed in this contest are:-
Jamdiver - for his stamen shot - really typifies the glorious colour of nature (this is the shot that I would have chosen if I was running this comp)
Jason-H - for his fireworks shot, I just love seeing patterns in nature
Apollo11 - for the VTech memorial shot
BeckyN - not because the shot was particulalry colourful, but because of the odd visual effect when I scroll the shot up and down!
RobUk - for the wierd Martian Fungus shot, I'd normally shy away from overly processed shots, but I really like that treatment.
thedjo - I love the colourfulness of the Eastern culture - just wish that shot had filled the frame more.

Athena. I'm not too sure what the dark shape on the left was, I think it could be a shadow somehow.

Next one up soon.

Many thanks again....

This is the setup I used for it... All I did was get up close with the 50mm and extension tubes and bounced the flash off the fridge...
