    People Gave me Weird looks when I snapped this...but...

    I took this at Shore Acres County Park near Coos Bay oregon last december, there were beautiful Christmas lights all around me, and I chose to take a long exposure looking up into some illuminated trees.

    Simply inverted the colors and got this blue thing.

    This is one of those things that you like, or you dont, but I thought I'd share.

    Well simply put, I don't like the original, but the invert is great, and I don't generally care for inverts.

    This one is cool!

    I agree with almo, that blue invertedness is something else. Very interesting. Nice work.

    Same here!

    I have to say that I don't like how the lighting came out in your original picture with the long exposure. On the other hand, the invert is quite fascinating. If find that it is easy to fully appreciate the pattern in this one.
