This week’s challenge is Masterpiece.
This is not my masterpiece. I have gone through my archive, unfortunately, none of the photos in my collection can qualify as a masterpiece.
There may be one or two photos taken in the non-digital era that I would like to think are my masterpieces. However, I have lost them; they only exist in my memory. In my retirement, I will be searching for my masterpiece for sharing.
This image is a response to requests ( in English and Spanish!) from several reader friends. It is the color version of the B&W picture I uploaded in my last post Black and White Photo Challenge: Abstract.
As blogger friend Opalla has pointed out, this is a new Rorschach test which I have created. The image may depict ice cube, bubbles, horse rearing up, smoke etc. It just reflects what is on your mind.
Hope you would like this image too.

This is awesome!! I see roses. And fish. I don’t know what that means. 🙂 http://holley4734.wordpress.com/
I think I can see the roses but I can’t see the fish. I suppose you are more imaginative 🙂
Your images are just as good!
Many thanks professor!
To me this is ice and fire.
I can see these as well. Thanks for the comment 🙂
You have many WONDERFUL photos. Please don’t sell yourself short. Besides, you have pictures of nature . . . pictures of true masterpieces. Art can never be a substitute for the masterpiece that is before our eyes in nature, but captured well, art can still stir and lift our hearts.
And by the way, I like this color version of your abstract. A masterpiece is always in the eye of the heart that is touched by it. Blessings, Pat
Hi Pat, I like looking at your images too, they are so peaceful. Thank you 🙂
Looks like ghosts or angels dancing around a great big light….my Rorschach interpretation 🙂
Very imaginative! I can only see angels. Thank you 🙂
So glad you posted it in color! I really like this version better. Great work.
Given so many requests, I don’t think I can get away with not posting the color one. I likes the many comments comparing the two – interesting! Thank you 🙂
You have a great talent!
Thank you for the kind words 🙂
Beautiful abstract.
Thank you John 🙂
I did not notice the horse at first-a magical and amazing masterpiece!
Hi, I suppose it is entirely up to the imagination. Glad that you now see the horse! Thank you 🙂
I just knew the colour version would be a feast for eyes. And believe me, this IS a masterpiece. You are just too modest.
Best regards, Gordana 🙂
Hi Gordana, many thanks for the kind words and the encouragement 🙂
Wow! I love it Michael! It would make a great painting! 😀 Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Yes, it will make a great painting. Thank you Sonel, without your B&W Challenge, I wouldn’t have posted the B&W picture and subsequently the color one. Thank you 🙂
Masterpiece or not it is a super photo , Michael. I see on the bottom on the right a figure with spread arms and who let all drops flee freely in the air.
groetjes, Francina
Hi Francina, I can see the figure’s rear side with opening arms too. Thank you 🙂
Guau!!! Preciosa in color, preciosa!!!! Con tantos reflejos!!!! I really love it! Actually, I think I do prefer this versión!!!!
Thanks a lot M.!
Hi, it is great to learn several Spanish words from the comment every now and then! I think both versions are interesting. Thank you 🙂
Yes! I must remember to write you in Spanish!!! 🙂
I am still weak composing sentences in Spanish!
It is just a question of trying…!!!And Reading helps a lot!
Sure, will read more. It is the grammar that I am struggling with 🙂
Stunning!!
Thank you 🙂
The colour reinforces the image of the horse!
Hi, I notice you have got horse in your Art Work. What you see in the image reflects your mind 🙂
I never thought of that , but of course you’re right! A horse to me is an image of majestic and of freedom. Smart!
Thank you 🙂
It looks to me like an abstract painting depicting circus performers.
The physiatrist showed his test book to a patient and in every ink blot the patient saw people engaged in sex. He was not pleased with the doctors diagnosis and protested “I am not obsessed with sex, you are the one showing the obscene book.” Jokes aside I really like the photo.
Haha, very interesting response – I like the joke. Thank you 🙂
One can never be sure with humour I took a chance on giving you an even broader smile.
I can see that you have a lot of positive energy too. Have a lovely day 🙂
Very exciting photograph. I like the texture and colors. It reminds me of Italian Glassworks. Thank you for sharing.
This also reminds me of Italian Glassworks; it requires quite a lot of skills to do a painting imitating glasswork. Thank you 🙂
That`s right, this picture reminds me on the Rorschach-test as well, although it`s not that symmetrical as the the Rorschach pictures. For me, by the way, it`s ice but that`s because I am just writing about ice on my blog. Isn`t every abstract picture a screen for projections?

Hi Klausbernd, have never been to Norfolk. Cambridge is the closest I got to. Do you also have a WordPress blog? Will be interested to see your writing about ice. Greetings from Hong Kong 🙂
Well in my eyes it’s a masterpiece! Beautiful photo 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Hope to see more of your paintings cheers. Michael
Wonderful! I really liked the b/w, but now seeing the color–it is a very close tie-an excellent photograph-
I like both photos for different reasons. Thank you for your thoughtful comment 🙂
This image is stunning!
Thank you 🙂
Oh I think it does qualify. Very good.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Your B/W version made me think of lake water. This, however, brings to mind a beverage being poured. I was on vacation, Michael. And needed a break from everything. Thanks for noticing.
Hi Katheleen, I suppose you enjoy lakes and beverages! Glad that you have a break 🙂
That’s really beautiful!
Many thanks 🙂
I like the clarity and colours. It is very beautiful!
Yes, the colors are quite vivid. Thank you 🙂
Just amazing, Michael …. for me is it all about two elements … two contrasts: fire and water. This I would love to blow up to 70×50 and frame – amazing.
You have a good perception; this could be just water and fire. If you wish, you can blow this up. Regards, Michael
Thank you so much …. I will save your photo .. and see what the printer says.
You are welcome 🙂
