Congratulations on the Blue, Eugene. The square aperture makes some visually interesting 'subjects' & the blur created a lovely painterly abstract. Taxi Noir looks great on your Profile page, next to the raptors--shows there's more than one way to get a great shot.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge fully.

I recognised whose work this was as soon as I saw it! Well done in winning this challenge with this superb abstract its in a class of its own. You’ve made a lovely job with this unusual bokeh, even better than last time, though I do miss the lovely model. Everything about it is exquisite, the colours, the patterns and shapes, the composition, even the blown highlights are pure white shapes that add to the overall result. Certainly, in terms of the challenge brief, it doesn’t get any more abstract than this! Well done Eugene, thanks for your truly creative entry

Congratulations on the blue. This was one of my two favorite images, so I am not surprised to see this do well. I also appreciate your explanation as I was curious how you were getting the rectangular lights.
