The title is a reference to this particular NASA pic. Yesterday morning we spotted these lights on our bedroom ceiling. The colors are due to the parked cars in front of the building, which reflect the sunlight through the gaps of the blinds. The original shot was quite flat, so some strong levels/curves were applied. Apart from that the colors were adjusted only slightly. Round corners, olive green + orange + brown... 70's flashback anyone?

• As I begin to take more pictures, I'm starting to realize that while I enjoy seeing black and white and sepia, I'm really a color and texture girl, two things that are shown off here. You might have bumped up the colors but it doest look fake, looks like you had Tiffany windows. :)

• Nice capture of light. I really like the pattern the blinds created; the colors are great, as well. And, yes, it does look like the 70's even if the lamp reminds me not of the era. Regards, Brent

• You've done a nice job of the processing, bringing those colour striations out. I think it's quite nicely balanced too.
