Now that's distorted! I'm trying to guess what it is, but don't tell yet...

I like the B&W, nice tonality and gives it a dream quality. Good first submission.

Nice entries! The first has that abstract quality that makes me scratch my head at first look and wonder what it is. #2 is nice distortion in the building revlections. #3 is just plain beautiful and the brilliant sky reflection and cloud image is a great inversion of what the eye expects.

Lets get some new submissions! Nothing to lose and a good opportunity to strut your stuff. Its all in good fun, so even if you don't think you have "the winner", let us see your interpretation of "distorted perspective".

Okay, I withdraw my shot of Hammy The Cat wearing glasses (unless it's the winner ), and substitute this one.

I'm breaking my promise to wait for wiwi to come back home and post her Cornwall shots but I think she'll forgive me

This was shot in Looe and seems to fit the challenge. It's nearly 900 secs (15 mintutes) exposure of a waving sea. With the naked eye you couldn't see the rocks under the waters' surface but using a CP and a 10 stop ND filter with a long shutter time lets you have a peak what's under the surface:

I'll give this a shot, just for the heck of it. This was taken with my 450D and 18-55mm kit lens, in remote tethered mode.

I am appreciating previous moderators' comments about how difficult it is to judge the winners. There are some beautiful and fascinating new entries. I feel like if I comment on any one shot I have to comment on them all, so I'll just hold on for the grand finale.

One more day, give it your best shot (pun intended!).
