Your image, intentional or not, is an optical illusion. Sometimes it looks like the ruty area is the object and other times like the green area is the object. Nice rust and texture therin. If you rotate it 90 degrees counter clockwise it may be a stronger image - kinda like a human figure. If you re-shoot try to tone down the background a bit by making those bright yellow / orange objects fall into a shadowed area.

Interesting abstract - looks a bit oversharpened or over-contrasted. I think I would find this more appealing a bit more zoomed out in order to see what the sculpture was.

The green background contrasts well with the subject and makes for an interesting abstract

Hi Cybele -

Great work on only your second entry at DPC. As stated below the colors and lines are great. It met the challenge very well.

There is nothing that I can see to technically improve the shot. I personally would have liked a closer shot of the bee, but then you wouldn't get the effect of "proportion" for the challenge, so you did right. The only other thing would be a crisper shot. I see a bit of noise and the photo is a bit soft overall.

Overall, I think it is a great photo that you should be proud of. I look forward to seeing your future work.

Regards,
Chris
