Description Add a few drops of milk to a large glass container filled with water, take picture, rotate image 180 degrees, pump up the saturation and whala. Surreal!

My original photo was very noisy (grainy), but Erik Collinder was kind enough to clean up the original and send it back to me. Thanks Erik!

I would argue that this isn't surreal on the grounds that it is a picture of a few drops of milk to a large glass container filled with water, take picture, rotate image 180 degrees, pump up the saturation. That takes the surreal element out of it...

However, it does work as an abstraction of a sea horse.

This picture creates beautiful movement. The colors create a sense of awe and curiousity as to what it is. Surrealism is a very raw form of art, and you executed it quite well. (: Thanks for sharing.
