At Brookfield Zoo in the primate houses, the main attraction is of course the animals. However, when I peered down at the water in the bottom of their habitat, I noticed the abstract pattern the lights from the ceiling make in the rippling water. I snapped some photos of the distorted reflection and added a monochromatic effect.
Angela Cichosz of Carol Stream
I just set the tripod up and happened to look into the camera and saw the plane taking off through the moon. I got real lucky with the timing of the photo.

The graphic pattern of these electric lines and towers caught my eye while driving along Washington St. in West Chicago, IL, this past summer. With a little imagination, the image could be a scene from a "Transformers" movie (no pun intended)!
