Notes

• Something a little different than the norm today. Other than to say this is a detail of an item that's already been on the photoblog, I'll leave it at that for now. (Of course, I could be wrong about how abstract this is and it's patently obvious to everyone what it's a detail of. Take a guess if you want. There are no penalties for wrong answers--but also no prize for a correct one either.)

• The funnel part of a phonograph/ gramophone?
  I like the blue hue. It's almost like a robot-flower macro. If that makes sense.
  rhys @ July 21, 2008
• Hell yeah. I love abstracts like this one. I agree with rhys, looks like the sounding part of a gramophone.
  Josef Renklint @ July 21, 2008
• Okay... It wasn't that difficult (or abstract). If you dig into the archives a bit--May 1, to be exact--you can see the gramophone in its entirety.

  I visit you everyday and it's very interesting.

  Alejandra @ July 21, 2008
• Unbelievable softness, detail, and color. This is a very pleasing and rich image. I think it’s the softness of the color that really makes this image stand out.

  Filip Wiberg Photography @ July 21, 2008
• A beautiful abstract form, Jim ... it even looks great in the thumbnail. The beautiful light and soft blue color combined with your composition form a most alluring image.

• Bel gioco di linee e forme, ottimo anche il colore...forse una composizione più forzata e decentrata avrebbe reso ancora meglio.
  
  Ciao
