Good idea but the focus is a little soft and the colors could have been enhanced, then it would really look great!

Good use of reflection. Nicely enough done that, without your title. you have to look closely to even realize it is a reflection.

Nice contemporary look. My only suggestion is that I would have scored it a a point higher if the subject was a little more balanced in the photo. Just a tad off for my eyes but that could just be me. Otherwise, you did a fine job.

great sofl colors on the flowers. I find the pattern on the vase a little overpowering to the belicate tones of the folwers.

Trading Post - OK - as an abstract I think this shot works very well. Cool colors and textures. The yellow on the corner though should either be gone or have more of it. I see the little bit of it and want to see more of it. It has a contrasting look and feel to it compared to the rest of the pic. I had absolutley no clue what this was a picture of. But for the challenge it was tough to vote this high IMO. I personally felt that you needed to understand what the subject was to be able to relate to the movement. Spending more time looking at it now makes me feel that I may have scored it a bit harshly, but in the DPC voting world where you spend all of a second or two glimpsing at a shot this didnt grab me or make me want to stay to inspect it further. At voting time I thought it was not interesting or relevent as a motion blur shot. Looking at it deeper now and reading your description I can see what you were shooting for but I still think it would have done much better in an abstract challenge.

IMO it was worth the experiment! I had to come back to see what it was all about. I like the colours a lot. Keep up the good work and forget about the scores... ;-)

The colours here are very seductive. White segues to yellow, orange, brown, then finally black - very hypnotic. It would make for an interesting duotone.

I'm not sure the reflection quite works, though. Too much of a mirror image. Maybe if the shot had been taken from higher up, or if the reflection had added a unique tone, it might've worked better. You could even have some fun taking this shot from different angles, and seeing how they look upside down...
