Thanks, not really studying anymore, long time ago, now just pretending ;-) Still have an interest in a lot of subjects though, especially science.

Actually in the afternoon, but in a darkened room. Main light source is an e-reader. Some daylight came in and the image was a bit brighter than shown. The antique plate effect added a vignette effect.

I'm not an Abstract kinda girl, sooo... if an Abstract is going to appeal to me, then it has to be lovely on its own... something that REALLY draws me in.

This one... the bright white center turned me off that I really didn't look at the rest of it. It was too blown to recover from IN MY MIND.

Others may love this.

I'm just weird about abstracts.

i didnt vote on this challenge .. but if i had i would probably have given it a 5 or a 6 ..
i love the colours and the blur and the intensity .. but without the title i really dont know what's going on ..
when i view a photo in a challenge .. unless its really obvious that it doesnt satisfy the challenge .. i'm more inclined to give the photographer the benefit of the doubt .. because it might be that i am missing something that could be obvious to other ppl .. and of course to the photographer .. so in many cases i will assume it does meet the challenge ..
you really got hammered .. and i'm glad you're not upset by that .. but wanting to know why .. (i'm coming from the thread you put in btw .. ) ..
these days if a photo i enter does really badly .. which is relative of course .. like you, i want to know why .. not so that i change my style or whatever .. but to understand where other ppl are coming from ..
in the past a bad reception would have had a bad effect on me .. i'm so glad it doesnt anymore .. !! .. ;)
