This week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is Simply Surrealistic.
Rather than fire up Photoshop I thought of this image. Created in the darkroom five or six years before anyone had heard of Photoshop. Commissioned for the cover of a book on Influenza research it’s a heavily manipulated photo of a model of an Influenza virus.

This is fantastic, David! I would never have figured it out in a million years.
Thanks. The publisher wanted something different and had seen some earlier false colour work I had done.
Nice! You never know when something you’ve created will have a particular impact and be remembered further on down the line…
Wow! It looks as diabolical as its actions!
I suspect that was the point of it for the book cover. It should stand out from a typical scientific research publication.
