You know I like this but there is such a flatness in the color, a little boost in saturation may have scored higher. I still like it though.

O.K. I have to admit that I had to do a Google search for the meaning of Koru. The image has a lot of potential if certain elements were included. The spiral shape of life, movement and growth would be more appealing if it had a companion. Some greenery to compliment the symbology of the symbol - such as a new sprig of a curled fern or fern or plant life near it or around it - maybe even framing it. The bronze hue of the Koru seems washed out - the colors are not rich and warm perhaps a change in lighting would help in bringing out more of the gold/amber hues - then again perhaps bringing in some greens/plantlife would really offset it may set off such that the colors would be more rich and warm. Here the color scheme is not very varied and comes off a little cold.

What's a koru?

ahh... found this on google:

The koru shape is a scroll shape and is linked to the New Zealand fern plant. The shoot of the fern has a curled-over tip which unfurls and becomes a fernleaf.

The koru reaches towards the light, striving for perfection, encouraging new positive beginnings...

The koru, represents the unfolding of new life, that everything is reborn and continues. It represents renewal and hope for the future.

Spiral, geometry of life, sacred creation...

Nevertheless it still looks like a turd to me ;-)
