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. #1191934

Michael Kelly October 14, 2009

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. #8037749

Susan M. Reynolds October 16, 2009

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.
