Weird and wonderful. I really like the black curve at the lower right and how it balances with the black background at top left. I like the angle, I like the text and I like the DOF.
And it's yellow. :)

Great effect. Looks like it was done in a glass or some kind of curved glass. I like how you have the soft focus on the word "soft" lol Pretty neat. The lighting is great. I wonder why there is a green outline. was is something to do with the way you acchieved the curved "blooming" look? Not complaining, just curious. Actually, I think it adds to the photo by giving it an edge so the yellow doesn't just fall into the black background. Cool. I like it. Good luck with the challenge.

Comment by syamjonimi:
interesting perspective - I think you were going for that soft blur-distorted abstract look with a sharp focus at the lower left ROT but, my experience here is that abstract is not readily understood here. I hope you are scoring better than I think you might be.... I'm not sure if I would hang this up anywhere, I think it might lose something in a larger size and become too grainy. It is a good representation of the challenge.... =7 syamjonimi ;'-D

yes it's a macro close-up image, but that's it.... maybe something for a pencil-advertisement?
