This is a shot of my monitor with the screen saver on. The screen saver is called "Flurry" and it displays beautifully colored and continuously moving patterns.

Great idea and well done.

Now THAT'S a creative shot! In all of the years I've looked at my monitor, I've never considered taking a picture of it. Very, very well executed shot.

Bottles, this is a great image!!! I recognized it immediately and then realized I would have never thought of being so creative. Gorgeous colors.

excellent - i really like this.

Originally, I had named this image "Exploding Colors". That was before MFC mentioned that it resembled a flower. Since it was created with the "Flurry" screen saver, I decided to rename it "The Flurry Flower"
Also, gk suggested that I change the border (it was originally green). I do like the new border better. Thanks MFC and gk! And Gaurav, yes I do have a wonderful G5 Mac!

Bottles - thats really cool - do you have a mac? the only thing i would change is to make a simpler border - maybe black with a white stroke - i find the color competes for attention with the colors of the picture itself. nicely done! ~gk

Love the results of your experimentation, Bottles! I like the composition, its colors and overall presentation. Well done!

Beautiful, abstract pattern, bottles. Nice colors, contrast, and flow...good idea too. Resembles an unusual flower bloom atop a green stem to me. MFC
