jeez.........that is an awesome macro!!!!!

Holy cow author!!! What lens did you use to get this?!? Great macro...

I used a 90mm macro lens (Tamron) with an extension tube.

An alien!... that's thirsty...

It's an amazing macro, I only wish it was a little lighter so I can see more details. But when we have a macro contest, I predict your picture will be in the top 3 for sure =)

Thanks, but when we do, I won't be able to use it again,perhaps I should have saved it.

Congrats for your 1st..

Congrats!!!!!!!

Whatever it is, it's scary indeed! Congrats for your first place!

Thanks for the votes, fav's and congratulations. It was a small larva/worm that I found in a corn cob,was about to wash him down the sink when I thought I could make better use of it.

Not sure what it is - but it is a really cool looking pic! Nice job

is it a kind of flower or a leaf?

love it

Superb! It looks like a metal texture.. very odd. Really great shot.

Well done!

Edit: Author we need to catch up!

cool!

looking into a lampshade?

No lampshade... No leaf... No flower... No metal... it is manmade...

And Ponti yes! I tried to catch you on chat but you went offline...

Congrats for your second place!

An A/C unit?

I have no idea, wth???

Not an A/C unit

no Idea.. is the image rotated?

great shot, what ever it is.

It is rotated....Iquraishi!

I guess this is some kind of design or something on a wall and that extra light source is on the floor facing upwards..?

Quite close iquraishi.
The light sources are 2 & their not facing upwards but sideways.
I used flash & a reflector to fill the "curves" from both sides!

I thought as much it would be you.. Good WTH entry and GL!

hhhmmm a door mat..?

Sorry but no!
You got the lighting part tho.

I think it's something made of leather. But what???

The material is not leather!!!

May be a shoe sole?

I'm afraid not cais.

congrats for the 3rd.. so wht is it?

It's a piece of a paper with a single red wine drop on it...
Rotated 180 degrees.
Lighted with a external flash & a flash light.
The black piece on the background is a black piece of paper.
Thank you all for your comments & votes.
Much appreciated!!!

Congrats for your third place, Karaflazz!

I'm guessing lemons on the right but no clue what the blue ones are.

wow, they do look like lemons, lol. But nope, they are not. So nice to hear it's not that easy too tell.

are they pop rocks, the candies that pop in your mouth ? great shot btw

I guess they are the small colored rocks what you put in aquariums..?

Is it corn? At least the yellow ones...the blue - no idea.
Could also be some typical american cerealmix. Nice shot anyway.

Not pop rocks, although now I want some.
Not rocks, not corn, or cereal. Awesome guesses guys.
I'll give you guys a hint tomorrow night.

is it corn?

close-up of the yellow line on a road?

It looks rubbery and soft. Part of clothing or a floor mat is my guess. It does look like something that belongs on the ground. Great Job!

I was just going to give you guys a hint, but we've got a winner. Aritist3001 got this right. It is rubbery and soft and is on the ground. It's safety padding for a playground. Great eye Artist =)

Yay!

But it could be peanut candies... the yellow ones, at least!

For you erikuri - these are in fact yellow delicious peanut candies = )

so weird and cool and mind consuming.. great capture

Macro of a shaving razor or a shot of two florescent light bulbs?

A roof light with 2 florescent bulbs yes jaw!!!!
In my living room.

I would never have got that, wonderful abstract.

really cool pic..

Very creative! Nice shot, and GL!...

Is it strip lighting...? Lovely shot author... right on subject!
