Oh, What IS It? by cynlee

Nikoneer: It would have to be something pretty danger-free, probably a pond of fish or ducks or something like that, otherwise they wouldn't have the adults further back behind a wire fence and the kids up close behind glass panels. It's something that they want kids to see up close and wouldn't have a chance of breaking the glass and hurting the kids. The kids are all looking down at about a 45-degree angle so it's something on the ground or water. There's also more than one because all these sets of eyes are not looking at the same thing. If the glass in the lower right was more reflective there might be more clues, but alas, no. So my guess is fish, waterfowl, or something else that's safe for the tykes.

krt: Nice work and a most unusual subject. Well done on gaining 4th place!

rvdb: Think I know but will not tell a good entry.

Rob

Eubeen: I think you might have voided the warranty to get this shot. Good focus work in the photo and nice lines. Best of luck in the contest.

What is it? by krt

krt: Lots of interesting suggestions, but still none of them right on the button. Lol! All will be revealed soon.

J_E_F: Cynlee was the closest then. Good result from a fascinating image.

krt: Thanks one and all for voting on my image, and many congratulations to the other finalists and especially the overall winner!
Okay, my image is.... the inside of a giant walk-in model of a human cell. You can see the endoplasmic reticulum in blue and some organelles in other colours embedded in the cell wall. The model is on display in a museum in Hamburg, Germany (where, incidentally, photography was freely permitted).
So now you know! But I am impressed with the ingenuity of the other suggestions.
