Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Never over estimate voters.

The connection to the theme wasn’t obvious, so I suspect a bunch of low DNMC votes. What it was, wasn’t obvious. Voters seem to prefer color palettes toward the blue end of the spectrum, rather than reds and oranges (my subjective conclusion, not based on statistical analysis.) As stated elsewhere, blur without some focused element to rest the eye is difficult for voters.

I gave it a 3, because of some of the notions above. I couldn’t figure out what it was that was inside, and what it was inside of.

If you’re interested in black holes, you might like a book titled Black Hole Survival Guide by Janna Levin.

OK, gave it a 4. I don’t mind abstracts, but they have to be beautiful. Your composition is fine, you placed the center of interest a little off center, but it is an overexposed white blob that you are calling attention to. The rings are colorful, but they aren’t particularly attractive, kinda harsh and glaring. It does meet the challenge IMO. Keep experimenting, you’ll get a great one.

I like this a lot, although I find the cracks in the white paint distract from the people, and result in the image feeling rather busy.

Lovely lighting, I gave it an 8
Beautiful naturally lit images are very difficult the end result can be amazing, as yours is.

reading your comment on how you did this I can only say: I fully understand what you're meaning. It was harder to emulate Mary Ann's Style than expected.
