Blue Light Special 20050716

Closeup of my satellite modem front panel, as a demostration of a technique.
This shot is also significant personally because when the modem's blue lights are lit it means I have contact with the internet satellite,
which makes those blue lights truly special to me. ;-)

Gordon, the horizontal symmetry works well for this one. Not a bad abstract, which reminds me of a wine glass. However, the whole thing feels a bit too dark to me. I suppose that's inevitable to some extent if you don't want to blow the blue light highlights much more. However, I can appreciate the significance of this blue light to you. Thanks for your caption. Based on that idea, I guess the wine glass analogy is not so far from the truth, where the 'vessel' provides you with something to ligt your spirits either way.
