Sandy, love the colors and the abstract nature of this... is it a butterfly wing? Nice work!

Sandy: Whatever it is its beautiful. I might concur with Tonia on it being an eyespot on a butterfly wing. What do we win if we're right? :biggrin: >=))>

Pretty cool macro abstract, Sandy. I am looking forward to learning what this is and the magnification size.

Alright Sandy - I'm intrigued :confused: Love the abstract, but can't come up with a better guess than what's already been posted here already, so let's go with a white wolf wearing hair extensions :biggrin:

Looking forward to learning what it really is :wink:

OK - Tonia and Bill were very close. It's the eye-spot of a luna moth, magnified 5x life from about 2 inches out.
Good guesses!
