PP Challenge #37

Greetings!
Excuse the lateness of starting, I didn't realise I'd been chosen until yesterday. Continuing Tanner's (and my) wish to see a macro, here we go.
After an agonising look through my photos, I chose this one. As usual for this challenge, I figured to pick something I thought had some interest and potential, but looked fairly lifeless out of the camera.
It's certainly not one of my best, but I like the scene it shows, and it has plenty of scope for processing. Not one for blue enthusiasts, but an interesting break from the landscapes of late.

Up and Atom, everyone. I'm expecting some dramatic and curious interpretations! Do what you like, but no kittens or lens flares please.

RAW: IMGP9261.PEF
JPEG: IMGP9261.JPG (For 8-bit lovers!)

f/5.6, 1/100, ISO 200, 50mm Pentacon 1:1.8 M42 with 57mm of extension tubes. Handheld shot (with beanbag.)

I haven't participated in one of these before, but I'm working from home today... Aah, procrastination!

(Nice photo, by the way!)

Snail Kiss

I'm trying to learn some PP techniques so this should be a good way to get in some practice. Needs better skills than I have though.

First Time in a PP Challenge for me. Looks a bit like some of the others but I didn't peek beforehand so I guess we think alike.

And now for something completely different...

I might make another [more serious] version, but how about an abstract?

Just messing around,
