The Shapes Of A New Year

While your picture does contain shapes, I think of this challenge more in terms of abstraction, a distillation of shape as the primary essense, therefore your objective is clouded by editorial context.

This image is almost pure pattern.

Nice still life, well photgraphed, but not strong on topic. My impressions come more from color and pattern, even the implied action or drama as your title suggests, than from shapes.

I hate you. :)
This is the 75th image I've seen in this challenge, and I thought I had figured out what was going on, and now ? Apoplexy. 1 or 10?
After further review... 8 Too much area to the left.

This was a great idea for the topic, and I can't imagine what went wrong with your focus, unless of course the OOF was intentional, then it was a poor idea.

Interesting structure, which really works against you here. I can see how you were trying to use low contrast to emphasis the shape, but the subject is too interesting, my eye demands more information and not finding it, my mind says "bad picture". Sorry :(

I'm sorry, for me this is all about color and pattern, not shape.

For me this speaks more of color and textures than shape. I also have trouble with the DOF. Hopefully, I can get the terminology right here, but my eye want to find a plane of focus, one depth where things are sharp. Instead there appears to be only one point at the center where things are sharp, then everything, regardless of depth, looses sharpness as you move to the edges. Perhaps this is a factor of your slightly acute perspective angle, or spherical abberation (?), which makes me think a smaller aperture may have helped.
