This is nice - you gotta work harder on the 'hate it' part ;-) Something's not working for me with the orientation or composition - I want to go into the tunnel on the right and I can't. But, you've got lovely colors, well controlled highlights (in context), and the swiss cheese effect is kinda cool. For me, the best abstracts are subliminally suggestive of something representational, this allows a toehold of a sort.

This is very, very good. it's likely that narrowminded kneejerkers were knocking you down a few points for 'blown out areas', when of course, that's part of the magic here. I love the mood and the processing and the expression. Personally would have wished for a bit more space but that's probably only because I'm not generally a fan of fashion model shots - which is what this invokes. Please keep going with your gut - keep it artistic and interesting and don't dumb it down for a score.
