As the title suggests this is a macro taken through a regular old water bottle. Heavily post-processed in Photoshop and a border added. The blue and green colors come from the grass and sky, the "swoop" is just one of ridges in the plastic bottle.

Thanks. Just playing around with random shots,  Photoshop and Perfect Effects can lead to interesting images :)

A great shot and a great idea. Must add to my list of things to try.

I freely admit I post processed that image to an inch of it's life. It's the photographic equivalent to a 1980's pop song  lol :)

It's an abstract. I love these kinds of photos.

May give this a go. Unusual but works well.

I'll have to dig up the original, but sure. It's nowhere near as "good" as the finished product. It was sort of a test to see if I could take an otherwise useless shot and make something of it. I MAY have gone overboard... maybe... LOL


Found it.... this is just a screencap of the actual 7MB file I worked with but you can see how much I butchered... ummm.... manipulated the file  :)
