Very interesting, Michael. You find such unique things to take pictures of. Love the geometrics here and the colors. I suspect you entered this in EoD.

  Wow thanks for the kind reception to this rather simple shot. I think the greased tubes added to the interesting reflections of brilliantly painted planes in the BG. This and the symmetry of the pod are what makes the shot.

Thanks again to all of you for your kind remarks.

  Congratulations on your EP Michael. It is a very strong though simple shot based on the different colors reflected through the pods of the rocket.
First reaction without reading the explanation was that it could have been a kalidioscope...How wrong I was! Makes me realize how just about anything, photographed correctly, can be art! Cool photo and great comp...Once again Kudos on your EP.

  Thank you all so much. I normally don't submit my Phellos shots in time for them to come up as an EP, but I had such a good early reaction and no suggested changes so I went with this one. Thanks for all of the input and your congratulations.
