Spilled diesel on Easter Road, Edinburgh, 2006. The thin layer of hydrocarbon results in iridescence, the appearance of fringes of colour.

I was very pleased with how this worked out. The diesel was fresh and smelly. I took it on my Fuji Finepix and cropped and rotated it to this composition, which turns it into a rainbow. What do you think?

Thanks. I tried a couple of tighter crops. As to the size, that is all the size I have, regrettably. --Guinnog 21:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Changed to oppose -- it just needs to be bigger for an FP. Still, overall I really like it as a picture. --Asiir 12:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The original is 976, which is not far off 1000. --Guinnog 01:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apologies, I was looking at a variant. However, with digital cameras easily producing pictures 2000 or more pixels wide there's no reason (apart from heavy cropping) for a small pic. But I do think it's a fascinating picture - Adrian Pingstone 08:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
