A ring, a flower,

Or an alien creature's eye?

Any thing, stunning.

What does it look like to you?

    It definitely look like an eye to me. Lol 😆 excellent and stunning words you used to describe it.

    It looks like an island country in the middle of a cosmic flower. It's beautiful. I love everything about space so the picture is an automatic draw for me. Lovely work, Lana!

  • This is so cool, Lana. I'd say Kaleidoscope!

    The devils anus! 😀

  • At first it looked like an eye to me. Then I noticed the red and it reminded me of the Rafflesia flower. I've not met it before but it's said to stink like a decomposing body, lol

    I feel like ‘What does it look like to you?’ should have featured in the haiku if only there were space. The beauty of the universe, an eternal philosophical question ✨

    Let's hope it's not an alien creature's eye. I feel like we've had enough drama for 2025 thanks! Love this Lana and it's a cracking photo too.

  • It looks like all of the things that you mentioned. Also what I see is the Earth in the middle of a beautiful eruption.

    An alien's beautiful eye that you could get lost in, right before it ate you ... Ok, there's my horror side coming out ;)

    It reminds me of the acid pools at Yellowstone. Great picture and haiku to complement, Lana.
