At first glance I wasn't too sure what I was looking at but still an interesting visual effect

Interesting concept/approach. Composition lacks.

Very artistic and an interesting use of a balance ball. The flying sparks are cool.

This image has nice colors. Blue particularly is a good color to use in DPC submissions. General technical quality is good.

Abstract images like this tend to be obscure to voters and this image will suffer in the scoring department because of it.

at first i thought you were at a concert or something but I look & is that a box of kleenex? and a plate?
I think it would have been better if that was cropped out but I still really like this one

Comment by _Io_:
For this abstract to work would require removing the odd coloured thing on the left, and ensuring the whole of the left hand side was darkened. Also, the double exposure of the face makes this a little odd. Having a halo of the match as it moves around in front of the subject would also tighten this up better. The objects silhouetted by the blue ball are slightly too blurred, as well. 5

The plastic was a good idea to add a dreamlike quality to the shot, but the embossing detracts in every square inch of the composition making it almost a non-photograph. 2.

Good art shot. The embossed plastic works well. 9

The soft focus is good for this shot I think,
