Hi Markjay, thanks. They are a pack of drinking straws that are stored a worktop in the kitchen. Where they are easily accessible for our Daughter.Maurice

Nicely done, Maurice. Just out of curiosity, where did you find this? Markjay

I can explain it Mary Anne, Maurice is an artiiiiist like wot I is:-)

Maurice, you were wise to choose this shot over the other version. It's amazing how they could look so different, and I certainly can't explain it. --Mary Anne

Thanks, Yes they are drinking straws, so good guess!. There is very minimal post processing, all I did was slightly increase the highlights. I don't understand why I got a strange reflective effect down the straws perhaps someone will know why! Here is a link to a photograph which was also taken at the same timehttp://www.pbase.com/image/79786370 The only difference is I tried to reduce the aperture even more hoping to increase the DOF, but I got these reflections. It did not increase the DOF which seemed finer!, perhaps there was some interaction between the camera aperture matching the straws opening?? But I liked the effect!

I don't think Maurice creates in PS so this is good:-)

Very cool - reminds me of the bubbles wraps.

I'm worn out trying to guess these shots. So I just react to the visual and abstract qualities as well as technical execution. This has them all. Nice work. -tv

I don't know what these tubes are, but they certainly make a nice abstract design. --Mary Anne
