Thanks Dennyboy. My method is my madness...

1. Three B&Q screws up-ended on top of a black reflective surface. I used my induction hob.
2. Spend ages cleaning hob top to get dust away.
3. Black card behind.
4. Shot with macro lens.
5. Import to CS3, increase black, boost colour a bit.
6. Import to Photoslop
7. Velvia filter to boost colours. Except the black of course.
8. Apply Redfield 'Ripples Magic' filter plugin (£10!).
9. Crop, sharpen, smile.

It took me a LONG time to do all of this. Thoroughly recommend this plugin - brill. Best to get all black or white around the subject. You could spend a long time messing with this, but I'm sure that with patience you can come up with some stunners. Can you do better?....
