I like the one sharp detail and want to know more...

King said 374 days ago:

This image seems to have been rotated, so I find it a bit disorienting. It's interesting. I guess it is hand-held, so the bluriness??

High relevance, but it doesn't do too much or me. When is the next Nude theme?

Ana said 374 days ago:

another one that's relevant because I can't figure out what it is!

Beamer said 374 days ago:

@King, this is oriented the way I shot it. Only thing I did in PS was a little cropping. I moved the camera on purpose to create the motion blur to enhance the abstract nature of this. I'll share what it is later.

King said 374 days ago:

@Beamer. Cool. Good work.

ryanrahn said 374 days ago:

A little grainy and blurry.

ryanrahn said 374 days ago:

But, I agree - this, unlike many of the other images, actually has good relevance!

This one has me scratching my head. I just cant figure it out.

Striking image. The way the yellow breaks up the space is very nice.

Thanks guys for the comments!!

This is the front grill of a SGI Onyx 3500 graphics computer in the machine room of the graphic design department at NBC in Burbank, CA. It looks like this: http://www.sgi.com/products/remarketed/onyx3000/ The yellow thing is the edge of this odd looking thermometer that our engineer hung on the front of it. The yellow hues come from a white balance miss-match from the fluorescent lights. This was purposely motion blurred by moving the camera during exposure to enhance the abstract look.

Okay, I just checked the post-reveal extra-credit box. (compliment)
