Can anyone guess what this is? There is a hint in the image. The original photo had an interesting subject, but the technical merit of the photograph was lacking a bit.

Now that I see this on a different monitor I might make the background squares more black and re-upload. They stand out a bit more than I wanted.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was 100% computer generated. Hmm, I not too sure what it actually is/was. I'm gonna take a guess and say its two images: the greenish center is a baseball (I think I see the red seams there), and the little red and yellow cones were taken from a picture of some flower. Am I anywhere close to the truth? Oh yeah, and the image makes a good desktop (whatever it is).

A flower center macro? Like a daisy? Or even a flower of some type taken on an angle so the petals look like this! ...lol...that's all I have to offer :))

Looks like the inside of a golf ball or from the inside looking out. Cool whatever it is.

Hmm, I agree about the squares. I like how it seems to be lit from the inside. I'm gonna guess it's part of a flower like everyone else or one of those sea anem...amon...whatevers... er anemones? :p

Ok, as most people guessed, it was originally a photo of a flower. It had pink petals with a yellow and orange head. The way I got this effect is to first raise the brightness and use auto-contrast in order to wash out everything but the central flower head. Then after touching up the result a bit, I inverted the colors and used the "hue/saturation" tool to rotate the color pallet by 180 degrees. This results in the exact same hues as the original image but with light and dark inverted (so it looks like it is lighted from the inside). If enough people are interested I could make a tutorial.

sounds like a coneflower. I like the effect, but, as i think you've seen yourself, i think the squares are too resilient. An interesting background though.

I like the lit effect you achieved here and appreciate that it's not overly bright. I guess I would have to see the reworked image for the difference in background you want, but I rather like it this way. It's there enough to make it a nice, different, and a useful design for wallpaper but does not distract or make me dizzy.

Just browsing back through the AOTM gallery and found this. Did you ever bother to make a tutorial on this spectacular lighting technique? That lit from within glow is what makes this common flower head something celestial.

I had not considered doing a tutorial on it until you mentioned it. It isn't actually a lighting technique at all. I just took the normal photo and put it through some photoshop torture.

Judging by the thumbnail, I thought it was the Times Square New Year's ball that drops every year.

Very cool image. I really like the squares in the background as they are, though I'd be curious to see how it would change with them being darker. If you've not yet made a tutorial, I'd love to see one because it clearly produced a really cool effect!
