Not an edit! Well, not a major edit, anyway. Just some little touchups.

Interesting, could make a nice Christmas image. Very nice.
How did you add in the colours? :D

Thanks! Colors are the result of taking advantage of my Abbe condenser's chromatic aberration. Oblique filter at the iris, then decentered and defocused to cast the light to line up just right.

Such a negative term: "chromatic abrerration." They should call it "complimentary prism effect!"

Clever.

Still, given that sequence, Roy G. Biv might be flipping in his grave?

That was my second guess! First guess was an extremely decentred phase annulus. I've produced similar effects when I was playing around with my old condensers. =D>
