Wow, fantastic photo. What kind of lens did you use? AFAIK, there are hardly any lenses that go beyond a 1:1 repro. ratio.
Fantastic game, Battou. I got confused by the copper colour

Wow. This photo has something Escher'eque about it! You try to determine whether you see a plane from above or from below (before I knew it was a rounded thing), and it shifted to "sure I'm looking at it from below instead of from above" and all the way round again. now!

Awww. What a pity. Now that I know that it is something round, I cannot reproduce the effect it had on me when I first looked at the photo in the first post...

Thank you

That might explain why I was not seeing the Escher'esque about it or the effect it had you described, having known it was round to beginwith.
