Thanks to those who choose to play a no win game - except for the fun, of
course. :-D

The first is the bottom of a copper funnel, I should guess.
Well, yes, I can see that - now. :-)
Impossible to guess, I think. This is what the ground looked like as I sat at a picnic table after some heavy rain.

On the ground was a tiny, maybe 1/8" sq., piece of glitter; lots of kids birthday parties in this park. With the sun
reflecting fully off it, I took this intentionally very OoF shot, and liked the results. It wasn't very interesting in
focus; didn't even push the button. ;-)
The second is tricky, but it must be a macro shot of an old leaf, perhaps on a
lake bed or wet mud near a lake.
This is the weird one. A pretty straightforward focus stack of a leaf, maybe 7" long, lying on a slightly reflective
surface. The surface ended, in very dark area, too close visually to the top of the leaf. So I selected that area in PS
and tried Content Aware Fill. CAF is sometimes astonishingly good, sometimes so-so, sometimes just weird. This was the
latter, with artifacts that looked remarkably like distant mountains. But I kinda liked it, so I went with it, trying
out a couple of other results, moving things around, removing a few artifacts that didn't fit.
So a shot that covers a couple of feet of actual subject looks like one of those things you and Rick guessed. I love
serendipity.
The third is a charcoal drawing.
This is a C-U of a scraped area on a yellow enamel surface. I think it looks like a drawing, too, which is why I shot,
processed and posted it it.
The fourth is the bottom of a plate with dents to give it a stand on the
underside.
I can see that. Actually the reverse, the top of an outdoor stool, with drain
holes.
I’m being bold, here . . .
Indeed! And I much appreciate it! I would certainly never have seen the downward tapered opening appearance of the
first. I also like separating images from the things that were photographed in interesting ways.

1. Serena Williams winning ball
I LOVE it! I'm surprised no one suggested the final asteroid, entering our atmosphere. It does look fast and hot. I also
thought the background looks rather like clouds at night.
or a moose-made pinhole lens.
2. Dead leaf on s frozen pond.
3. A negative image of......
Actually, a positive.
4. Water draining.
Some of these stools have had water on them when I've photographed them, but not this time. And they are yellow; the
blue just looked good to me when I was pulling an AG, wildly slinging a slider. :-)
No one thought black holes??

Yes! Why don't they make them in colors?
Good book title, too. "Soul of a Iron, A Steamy Look at the Creation of Order Out of
Chaos"
Thankful Moose
