Description
light1 Audio pronunciation of "light" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lt)LIGHT: -
1. Physics.
1. Electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength in the range from about 4,000 (violet) to about 7,700 (red) angstroms and may be perceived by the normal unaided human eye.
2. Electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength.
This deviation is being entered into (the_challenge) with the theme being LIGHT. held on *punkush 's page.
Edit: This is only one image, no photomanip. I placed the glass prism in the centre of a mirror and covered it with water, then circulated the reflective blue card around it with some placed over the top, so it fully reflected in the mirror. then snap... i broke my hip.
2nd Edit: Runner up in the competition... yay!

For the record, I hate you! I've been dreading commenting on this one ever since I first saw it 
Ok, joking aside.... I am genuinely impressed at the take you have taken on light. In a way its very literal and unoriginal, you have just displayed raw light. But that of course is genius in itself as its not an easy subject to illustrate! Displaying just raw light by showing refraction and reflection, and making it look good to boot! Sheesh, you sure to set the bar high.
Ok thats the concept.... now onto the execution. I am honestly amazed as to how you thought of the entire process. The prism, the water, the card. This is definitely one of the best and creatively planned and executed shots that I have seen here on dA. Its one thing to have a vision and another to make it a reality, and that my friend is what you have done.
If there is anything that I can fault about this shot at all, it is that while it had nice vibrant colors and the quality is unblemished, it's a little too busy and therefore distracting. Cant really find anything to focus the eye on... and while for some that might be a good thing it doesnt work for me personally. I feel wrong even faulting you for that, because I dont see how it would have been possible to make this look any better.
Thank you for not only entering [the_challenge] but for putting in such thought and effort. We will post the results once we are done commenting on all entries. I do hope that these comments are helpful and that you will participate again in the future.

A very interesting entry!
My one critique of this would be the fact that it looks so abstract that it almost doesn't look like a photo anymore, but that could be seen as a good thing too.
We'll announce the winnners soon. I'm glad you could take part in [the_challenge].

In-fuckin-credible!
This one really really really made me think for a long time...lol
I like the way you have made use of water. Water really gives a very good reflection, especially with colorful objects.
The colors are so amazing. The orange, red and green stands apart from the blue giving a brilliant mix of colors. How many shots did you take before you got this one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww thankyou so very much! so glad that you like it...ermm about 12 i think...just to get the right amount of water....it wasn't playing ball with me at first so i had to change a few things. normally with water it can take a hellova long time because its so tempremental but with this it was kind of in an enclosed space so there wasn't too much room for it to mess about in...so not a long time at all. thankyou again my good friend, so pleased that you sent these words my way.

Excellent,... very well done.
Its great to see creative thought power in action,.. and the results thereof, of course!!
The brilliance of the watery colors are great and the subtle colors that come
through really set this one off as a primo work!!
Yes, indeedee,....
Peace.

No problem at all, as I said, actually my pleasure.
Love you work.
Thanks for the brewski too, sure hope that's a good stout ale and not a lousy
american brew. 
Peace.

hahaha...oh no - only the best! Miller is the lighthouse of beer - blinking close to water.

Yeah, I heard that.
Actually I seldom drink, but I never drink american beers when I do.
Usually I drink good wines (in recent years either local New Mexico or aussie wines) with dinner or socially, most of the time.
When I want a good beer on a hot summer day, I will drink either a good euro stout or Mexican Beer.
I don't drink often, but when I do, I am not going to waste my time or money drinking swill or donkey
piss - which is what most american beers taste like.
Oh, there are a few good ones, Samuel Adams makes a passable stout, for instance, but for the most part they don't compare to any halfway decent ale or dark stout from anywhere in europe really.
But there is a local microbrewery in the small town I live close to here that makes some pretty good dark, nut, stouts
I like OK, although they are pretty weak compared to european stouts due to the laws here. But flavor wise, they are decent actually.
I like to buy and support products and services locally wherever I can as it is so rural and remote where I live, with very few people, it's hard for locals to earn a living,... so every little bit helps.
Peace.

This truly brings the light to a point where it can only be magic and nothing else, despite the scientifical aspect you wanted to bring here.
The colors, the shapes, the play on reflections, even the angle, everything looks so unreal, or at least like some kind of fantaisy artefact used in story tales.
It is almost like the end of a world coming from the sky (still in story tales, in my vision) for I can't be pragmatic enough to see mirrors, prisms, or radiations of different wave lengths...
Anyway, I like what you've done here.
I wish you good luck for the contest, I might try to get myself into it too !

You're welcome !
But I think I won't submit anything for the contest, since I've got a lot of work to do here and it won't be easy.
Anyway, glad you liked my comment

sorry to hear about your hip! good luck with future snapping, hope it goes as well as the hip did.
this is pretty darn awesome, not so much that i like the image itself but that it's really original
But i do like the image itself too.
Just thought i'd clarify that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha, well thankyou Ben. "original" is one word that i really am appreiciative when aimed at me. its pretty damn hard to come up with something that no-one else has touched on. so if i come close to it once in a blue moon then thats enough for me. thankyou once again mate, really nice.

I have read how you created this image, but I still cannot understand how you created it. It reminds me of the shiny stickers I used to collect as a kid. What a terrible comment, but anyway, very impressive. I am beginning a love hate relationship with your work......I hate that you have developed such skills, but I love what I see. dAmn.
