I found these two little oily droplets today on a steel railway sleeper. They were
reflecting two quite different colours so I had to snap them! Seconds later, they
joined up (Terminator 2 style), and merged in colour. I'm sure, as I got my camera
out to photograph them, my colleagues concluded that I was mad ;-)

Ohhh it's your colleagues who were mad! To miss such a thing - impossible. Great work! V

What is important is not only what people see, but what we can show them. You have given us the possibility to discover the detail which was destined to disappear and you have frozen it in a perfect immutable little mysterious jewel. Beauty is hidden everywhere and is simply waiting to be noticed.

Well found and captured, Steve. Obviously your colleagues are missing out on 'vision', they see but don't 'see'!!! +V

Great graphic find Steve - the whole droplets with their iridescent colours are superb and I also like the smaller jagged texture (whatever they are!)BV

amazing! VOte!

Milos Markovic		07-Jan-2009 15:12
Oiled up! Yes, no wonder that you saw "the scene". I believe that your colleagues have seen your artistic "rage" attacks a few times already and still could not get quiet used to them. I wonder if they are interested enough to see the results of your efforts. I wonder, what would they see... P.S. My colleagues even do not know that I am snapping...

Great shot, how strange that the colours were so different. Looks oily. You have colleagues who aren't photographers??? You must convert them!!
