Here's my entry - I may change it... I like how the fact that it is slightly out of focus almost makes it look like a watercolour painting!
it is a watercolour painting. why do you post it in a photography contest? ;) =D

This gets harder and harder every round!
absolutely. every round i catch myself thinking 'wow, these are even more awesome than the ones in the last round'.

As it is a guessing game, I might as well have a go.

L2R - Looks like an accidental photo taken inside a "clowns pocket". Possibly a "wizards sleeve" ;)

tambourine-man - a monitor socket from a PC.

tribal girl - A very cool looking ornamental antique like box. Probably the prototype of the box from the Hellraiser movies. You are eeeevilllllll :D

CletusVanDow - Now that would be telling

IAMTHOUGHTS - A drum.

klue - Some sort of cactus/spider plant hybrid complete with resident frog.

entheogenius - An orchid, because you said it is. I first thought it was an orchid, but on closer inspection, it looks like a parchment with writing on it, but couldn't think what.

felix - an incredibly good macro shot of a penile wart.

amot fati - A cool close up of mud with what looks like a toy digger, but is defo not.

huhwhathuhwhat - last nights guilty pleasure of wine

jam uh weezy - I agree with AmorRoark, a pine cone.

BushMonster - A stargazer lily? Very, very nice nice as well

notauniquesnowflake - You are either being devious or just keeping it very simple. It is blatantly a lens from a camera, but are you taking a macro shot of a mirror perchance? I likey though.

Probably my favourite round so far with so many different takes & styles on the subject. Really good stuff folks.
 
Excuse my dummness but I dont get it.

Are we supposed to guess and if you can it makes it a gopod pic?

If you cant guessis it a good pic?

will there be voting?



please help my addled brain.

You choose the best photograph that you like the most. The same as always, as far as I am concerned. The guessing part is only a wee bonus Mr Wise Penny has included to make it more interesting.

I listed my guesses because I felt like it & will no way sway my vote because of what it is. I hope everyone else does too.

Now step away from the computer, it sounds like you've had a hell of a day :p

My "enigmatic" titles are pure pretension (5 years of doing "arty" stuff at college - including 3 years of photography, believe it or not - left a few mental scars ;)). If I told you why it was called "Orchid" it would rather give the game away...

I wholeheartedly agree with that last sentence - some truly gorgeous pics out there folks, but then there so often is :D.

To go with the heart or the head? Will be difficult to decide...
