Alright, if this is what I think it is, that's just gross. Just had surgery four months ago, and this looks like the drainage tube that collected the puss and fluid out of my incision. Beyond that, there's no real focus (subject wise) and is very blurry. I suppose that could be an "artistic" choice, but it doesn't work for me.

Greetings from the Critique Club, Connie!

This is a really neat shot that I hadn't figured out during the challenge, so I really appreciate your comments accompanying the shot.

Colour, Composition, Contrast:

I like the colours a lot on this one, they are bright and saturated. :) My gripe is the way they are strangely blending together at the seams with those weird artifacts. That might be due to the compression, and someone suggested to me that I work on pictures in tiff and then save them as jpeg once done (works even if you took the picture in tiff!) Might also be your computer screen, in which case...still do the tiff trick, it WORKS! :) The arrangement of colours is just perfect.

This is a really neat composition and an interesting abstract. It does look like the colours are going down the drain, and I think that is what really makes this picture pop.

Focus and Lighting:

The focus seems a shade soft, but its not a fatal flaw. The colours are nice and bright and there are no weird shadows, so I'd say well done on all accounts.

Overall:

This is a great idea and an unique picture with great results. Its interesting and bright and at least well deserving of its score and placement! Happy shooting!

nice colors - very neon - which goes well with the shiny gold. balanced composition, a sense of depth.

like the tones on this shot although the glare off the metal is a bit distracting, primarily in the top lighter. good shot

Dramatic, but I think that the colors would be more represented if the lighting were a little more even.

The crop might be a little less on the left. The frame touches the "wheels" a bit.
