As most of you will know I've been posting the original image with virtually all of my recent entries. In this case though, as the transformation was slightly unusual, I've decided to hold off adding the original until you've had an opportunity to tell me a) what this is, and b) what additional post-production was done to the shot. What I will tell you is that it was shot during my journey from the UK to Bulgaria :)
Update: As Marcel has managed to identify the shot – it's one of the travelators at Manchester airport, warped in post – I've added the 'show the original' link. As you can see, the original is blue, but the perspective is slightly different in this version (courtesy of the warp tool) ;-)

Hmm, ny other half says that the piccie is upside down, he thinks that the top is the bottom? and is obviously in some kind of 'tunnel' ?

Hi Dave, great shot! My guess: ground level shot of the aisle on the aircraft? Wish I knew enough to guess at the post production...

hyperspace, definitely ;)

I'll say its one of those moving walkways taking from an ant's eye view. Processed with a blue filter and maybe with some topaz adjust

As I just mentioned on twitter, it's a Skywalk at Manchester Airport (inbetween terminals). Camera on the travelator and some post-production warping adding. No colour filters or other processing though IMO (I've seen how blue they are!)

Aye, it's a travelator-thingy, I think.

Marcel: spoil sport ;-)

though I've not been through the Manchester Airport, though I have been through numerous other airports with "people mover escalators", and as I do use the "warp tool" often to make minor adjustments to perspective issues in my architectural photography, I would have offered an "in the ballpark" response similar to Marcel's.

Very cool! Moving walkway and ceiling lights. Great image!

Very clever and well executed David. :-)

Wow! Terrific processing.
comment byChris at 06:43 AM (GMT) on 18 October, 2010
Extremely interesting Post-processing. Very creative and great idea. Is this the first image you post utilizing the warp tool to this extreme?
comment bydjib at 09:19 AM (GMT) on 18 October, 2010
Awesome processing here. I creates a great wallpaper. Very nice idea.
comment byArash at 09:29 AM (GMT) on 18 October, 2010
great processing, nice play with curves.

*blushes* Sorry David, thought you meant "Tell you" on here. Oops! :D
I take it you didn't get pounced on by security then? I haven't photographed there since 2003, tempted to go again...

Excelent color and result!
