Photo Contest: Post Processing #24 [ENG/ESP]
"We are caught inside a mystery, veiled in an enigma, locked inside a riddle."
Terence McKenna
Photo Contest: Post Processing #24 [ENG/ESP]
A riddle is usually defined as a pastime or game that consists of finding the solution to an enigma or the hidden meaning of a phrase, making use of intuition and reasoning, and not by virtue of possessing certain knowledge.
For this new initiative by @bambuka from the World of Xpilar Community, all participants are asked to select one of their own photographs and process it in such a way that the result is unrecognizable to the rest of the participants, who must guess the object, similar to what was done in Challenge #11. If any person guesses correctly, the hidden content of the image must be revealed.
This time, I chose a photograph I took a couple of years ago, which, according to the instructions in the post, should be based on an "inspirational" motif in a broad sense.
Afterwards, I processed it using the Picsart to modify the original image, for which, I used the "Tiny Planet" filter, which rotates the object in a 360° angle or in the desired amount, creating a circular image. I then applied the "Mirror" filter a couple of times, to multiply by four the number of times the object appears in the graphic composition.
At this point, I found the partial result quite interesting, and somehow, it reminded me of a kaleidoscope, so I decided to increase the chromatic saturation and modify some parameters with the intention of "cleaning" as much as possible the image, without making other changes.
Finally, the resulting image is as follows:
Un acertijo se define usualmente como un pasatiempo o juego que consiste en encontrar la solución de un enigma o el sentido oculto de una frase, haciendo uso de la intuición y el razonamiento, y no en virtud de la posesión de determinados conocimientos.
Para esta nueva iniciativa del compañero @bambuka de la Comunidad World of Xpilar, se nos solicita a todos los participantes, seleccionar una fotografía propia, y procesarla de tal manera que el resultado sea irreconocible a la vista del resto de los participantes, quienes deberán adivinar el objeto, de manera similar a lo que se hizo anteriormente en el Desafío #11. Si alguna persona acierta el acertijo, deberá revelarse el contenido oculto de la imagen.
En esta ocasión, escogí una fotografía que tomé un par de años atrás, y la cual, de acuerdo a las instrucciones del post, debe estar basada en un motivo "inspirador" en un sentido amplio.
Posteriormente, la procesé usando la aplicación Picsart para modificar la imagen original, para lo cual, utilicé el filtro "Tiny Planet", el cual rota o gira el objeto en un ángulo de 360° o en la cantidad que se desee, creando una imagen circular. Luego apliqué el filtro "Espejo" un par de ocasiones, para multiplicar por cuatro la cantidad de veces que aparece el objeto en la composición gráfica.
En este punto, el resultado parcial me pareció bastante interesante, y de alguna manera, me recordaba un caleidoscopio, por lo que decidí incrementar la saturación cromática y modificar algunos parámetros con la intención de "limpiar" en la medida de lo posible la imagen, sin hacer otros cambios.
Finalmente, la imagen resultante es la siguiente:
Evidently, no riddle is complete without some clues that may lead to its solution:
- It is an inanimate object, generally of large proportions, which has been practically present since the dawn of mankind, although this one in particular, is of recent date.
- In the Middle Ages, it was of great importance.
- It usually changes its name or denomination, among other reasons,
according to its geographical location, although there is at least one in any population of any continent.
I believe that the information I shared is enough to reveal the true identity of the hidden object. I can only wish you the best of success in this fun initiative.
Evidentemente, ningún acertijo está completo si no se dan algunas pistas que puedan conducir a su solución:
- Es un objeto inanimado, generalmente de grandes proporciones, que ha estado prácticamente presente desde los inicios de la humanidad, aunque este en particular, es de reciente data.
- En la Edad Media, poseía una gran importancia.
- Suele cambiar de nombre o denominación, entre otras razones, de acuerdo a su ubicación geográfica, aunque existe al menos uno en cualquier población de cualquier continente.
Creo que la información que compartí es suficiente para revelar la verdadera identidad del objeto oculto. No me queda mas que desearles el mayor de los éxitos en esta divertida iniciativa.

Just seeing the image makes me think of a shopping mall with a huge glass dome, photographed from above vertically into the centre below.... However, your description leads me to think it's more like a church / mosque / synagogue,...?
It is not a shopping mall, and in fact, it is not photographed from above, but horizontally from the entrance to the center of the building.
But, the second option is correct, it is a catholic church with an unconventional shape. So you got it right.
Congratulations!
Yess! Thank you!
the "dome" turned out from twisting and quadrupling. Most likely it is the glazing of one of the walls. I'm leaning towards the mall too :)
It is a roofed place, but it has a very particular and unusual shape: a hyperbolic paraboloid. It is an architectural landmark of my city.
maybe a museum? :)
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
At first glance, it seemed to me like some kind of public place to relax. It is possible that in the original photo we will see a bungalow with an adjacent part of the territory.
It is actually a public space, but more than relaxation, people come to seek solace or peace.
an interesting kaleidoscope turned out. I can't figure out what's below, the tile is shining or the water in the pool/fountain... :)
The tiles are shiny, but it is not a fountain, pool or anything containing water.
now I've already seen all the answers)))
Excelente imagen. Luce como un domo o un centro comercial!
Éxitos @manuelgil64!
¡Gracias @esthersanchez!
Lamentablemente, no es ninguna de las dos opciones que mencionastes.
I know it's not, @manuelgil64, but I can't help but comment on the first impression to the photographed object.
It gave me the impression of a broad spectrum telescope with wide lenses.
The ribbed tunnel and the greenery on the sides is where the observation is from. These exercises make the imagination soar.
Tienes mucha razón, pero en esta ocasión no se trata de un telescopio o algún lugar de observación.
Gracias por participar.
Manuel, where are your answers, are you at a party? :)
Sure! I'm in
