Beautiful atmospheric image. Gives a feeling of peace. I like images that have feeling as well as looking good. This one definitely does.

abstract doesn't have to mean blurred beyond recognition. I think this is inappropriate blurring here. Had this been in focus, I think it would have been more appealing to me. I like the color, and the waves coming from the object are ok, the crop is different, and lighting appears to be fine, I just wish i could SEE this better. ~Heather~

Wow! Wow was my reaction to the title. 'Untitled' would have been just fine. Putting editing information in the title is not a good idea....describe the final image...my forays into titling are not the best....but 'Blue Swirl' comes to mind....since it is apparent that it is blue, perhaps just 'Swirl'.

Well maybe something more than a crop would have been in order.
This is a summation of a critque....I would love to sit and critique every image in a challenge....I cannot. However: In the abstract form lines should be discernible but the subject should not. If you feel the only way you can make the subject indiscernible is to use camera blur, than you might need to get another subject and shoot it without blurring. This image as is might have been better presented with a lesser crop and a vertical orientation. The shooting idea might have done OK if the lines of the swirl were more pronounced and the object on the left were more in focus. As you description does not state what you shot or how you shot it I have very little to work with.

Hope that helps a little. Sorry if you were offended by the inital comment. RoB

it is distracting when people sneak in image details in the title.
