Tin can? Brilliant abstract. Love the lines, dof and light. A great challenge entry :-)

Greg Harp		12-Sep-2006 19:41
Excellent abstract. Nicely done.

Scott Browne		08-Sep-2006 14:20
Nicely done!

Guest		08-Sep-2006 12:34
what something so simple as that?! i knew i'm bad at this. :)

Susan Leigh		08-Sep-2006 10:34
well there you go..I'd never have got that!! ;-)

Guest		08-Sep-2006 01:30
Great entry. Nice color and DOF. I guess some kinds of pipe or hose of sink or ventilator .

virginiacoastline		08-Sep-2006 00:58
well at first I thought it was corregated pipe . . .until you said kitchen . . .can of tomatoes without tomatoes =)

purpod		08-Sep-2006 00:49
A tin can? I dunno, but love how you've disguised it!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 23:53
Here I would never have guessed! Interesting angle and light.

Cindi Smith		07-Sep-2006 23:42
Looks like a can without the label.

Guest		07-Sep-2006 23:09
Too hard for me :-(

Guest		07-Sep-2006 22:55
Perhaps its the screw thread for connecting a sink to the u-bend. Bet you didn't know I'm not a plumber! Great lighting BTW!

shatterbug		07-Sep-2006 21:57
I'm guessing something from the sink too. Looks like a nozzle or hose :^O

Bob Floyd		07-Sep-2006 21:52
Excellent! Love the angle on this. Well done.

Chris		07-Sep-2006 20:57
Does look like an unwrapped can...?Chris

J. Scott Coile		07-Sep-2006 20:50
Uncanny ;) Well done. Lovely forms.

Guest		07-Sep-2006 20:44
I've no idea what it is but I like how you have composed it.. and the color tone too is fantastic. :) Vote :)

Jen Bixler		07-Sep-2006 20:21
Canned item....Love how the focus is on the one ring. Very cool.

Guest		07-Sep-2006 20:03
Fantastic lighting... hmm.. but what is it?! :-)

Guest		07-Sep-2006 19:51
Well done!

Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography		07-Sep-2006 18:25
Doesn't matter dressed or undressed - not in my kitchen I suppose :)

Zak		07-Sep-2006 18:15

royalld		07-Sep-2006 18:09
Part of a drain pipe?

Lee Rudd		07-Sep-2006 17:43

chrisse		07-Sep-2006 17:30
Still haven't got a clue, even after the "clue"-image... Nice image. chrisse

Guest		07-Sep-2006 17:22
Oh,it's an undressed can. :)

Guest		07-Sep-2006 17:22
I had no clue till I looked at the 2nd photo. Cool use of shallow Dof,Sheila!!

Michael Shpuntov		07-Sep-2006 16:19
Hmm... No clue, but very nice picture.

Shayne		07-Sep-2006 16:17
Very nicely Done Sheila.... I'm going with the Can too

Kathy Pedersen		07-Sep-2006 15:50
I am thinking a can as well. Stunning lighting and curves.

Dan Chusid		07-Sep-2006 15:40
A plate of sorts?

James Ross		07-Sep-2006 15:34
It's a Tin can with the wrapper off??

Guest		07-Sep-2006 15:34
A tin of beans:-)))) Heinz

James Ross		07-Sep-2006 15:33
It's a Tin can with the wrapper off??

Jessica McCollum		07-Sep-2006 15:33
It does look like a can!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 15:28
you helped us too much with the can, still doesn't look right from the inside, great shot !

Deborah Lewis		07-Sep-2006 14:45
How about a knife sharpener?

Guest		07-Sep-2006 14:22
maybe every Aussie kitchen ! not sure it's in mine, but seems to be cutting/dicing blades of some sort

Susan Leigh		07-Sep-2006 12:44
I keep looking in my kitchen...what drawer is yours in? LOL

Jola Dziubinska		07-Sep-2006 12:22
I've checked in my kitchen - can't see anything like this. Good puzzle, Sheila :)

Eckhart Derschmidt		07-Sep-2006 12:05
If there were not the metallic ring in the middle, it could bve many things, the grip of a knife of so...

Deborah Lewis		07-Sep-2006 11:49
a turkey baster is my best guess!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 11:44
lovely composition and dof nice and sharp I walk through the kitchen many times during the day and confess that we don't seem to have one of these I'm baffled

Faye White		07-Sep-2006 11:34
ummmm... I don't spend much time in my kitchen... cool shapes and tones though!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 11:32
very good job of hiding it... some sort of gear working... will think on this...

Guest		07-Sep-2006 11:20
hose for the spray nozzle at the kitchen sink...

Ray :)		07-Sep-2006 11:18
Washing machine hose?

James Ross		07-Sep-2006 10:34
It doesn't look like any in my kitchen but Susan could be onto a winner. I'm in. :-)

Guest		07-Sep-2006 10:14
Really bugging me now:-( :-) could it be a part of a boiler or a car

Guest		07-Sep-2006 09:50
I see it now:-)

BAS Photography		07-Sep-2006 09:13

Susan Leigh		07-Sep-2006 09:11

Susan Leigh		07-Sep-2006 09:10

laine82		07-Sep-2006 09:10
darn, I thought you had bought a lensbaby !!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 08:58
Hmm.. Lens Baby "macro extention tube" lol ;)

wernere01		07-Sep-2006 08:55
cd´s? Oh no, may be part of a car (don´t know the name in english), the things that avoid that the car jumps up and down too hard.

Guest		07-Sep-2006 08:29
obvously i don't have this in my kitchen!! no idea. :?

Guest		07-Sep-2006 08:15
could it be a flexible vac hose

Susan Leigh		07-Sep-2006 08:08
Nice shot! ..........is it a plug?

Yvonne		07-Sep-2006 07:51
I've no idea what it is either but it made a fascinating subject!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 07:30
A flexible hose under the hood of your car?

Guest		07-Sep-2006 07:24
I do not know what is it but it looks good, that is what I care about :)

Graham Tomlin		07-Sep-2006 07:20
thought it was a spark plug till i read its in a kitchen lol good shot regards Helen

Nicki Thurgar		07-Sep-2006 07:12
Hmm, looks like a pipe of some sort - or bellows - vacuum cleaner pipe... or maybe some kind of lens extension tube...!! Beautifully shot, whatever it is!!

tomsview		07-Sep-2006 07:03
Interesting game & interesting picture! Anyway, it's a nice shot!

Sheila		07-Sep-2006 06:37
Nothing as interesting as a that, Dan.

Dan Chusid		07-Sep-2006 06:20
I'm thinking along the lines of a stereo speaker or woofer. I hear drumming in my ear... I'm posting one as well, as part of the challenge: http://www.pbase.com/image/66442228 Here's another participant, Jennifer: http://www.pbase.com/image/66437930
