Apologies - no time for a 'Longer Look' comment before challenge end. I'll come back after.

Back to update this comment. Apologies, I'd forgotten I'd be in an Internet black hole before rollover.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is almost primordial in its construction - like the start of everything - first light, first eyes. It's proportions are perfect too. Those curling flares create a sense of power - very interesting.

Critical stuff: I find the target banding to be a bit unfortunate.

Overall: Pure, distilled, nothing extraneous. I like that.

Great message. But voters were looking for more than that I think.

Baie mooi komposisie, en ja baie mense sal nie met jou saamstem nie maar dit is regtig nie ter sake nie. Niemand behoort dit af te stem omdat hulle nie saamstem nie. Mooi man, ek is mal daaroor al het ek nie hier uit gekom om te stem nie. En ook nie kans gehad om deel te neem nie.
