.................not a gambling man but if I was I'd like to lay money on it that it is not cracked.....I suspect a clue or two may be necessary. Regards Dave.

.......don't have PhotoShop, way too sophisticated for me and too expensive into the bargain, I make do with Prof. Franklin which does all I want it to. No! this pic is just as it was copied from a web article. Not many attempts to crack it thus far..... whilst they make for a colourful spectacle...they are feared by everyone but are understood by NONE.....as yet though it's not for the want of investing billions.

It wasn't the clue but the amount of time that could be spent trying to solve the puzzle.
The train of thought went like this :
1. Deep sea creature
2. Deep space/radio telescope
3. Macro photography

Good puzzle though.

Thanks
