The color-push on this makes it look like it's growing mold. Kind of unattractive, and overprocessed-looking.

interesting abstract.... the colors here don't look natural at all and the noise level in the image is quite high... = 4

Well, I'm glad I have this image to critique because I liked it a lot.
I love the abstract nature of this shot. You focused on shapes, colors and reflections. I think this is all glass is about so it was definitely a good move. All those are emphasized by the close-up compostion you chose. Very well done.
The exposure is perfect, allowing to show all those great tones and variations of green. Not too much detail using this reduced DOF: this emphasizes the shapes, I like it.
Maybe less graininess would have been better: it doesn't relly fit the theme of glass. I don't know if it came from your processing. Anyway, This is pretty much all I can think of to improve this shot you perfectly executed.

Congratulations, and Good luck for your future entries.
