I loved the colors & abstract form, finding them compelling & evocative...

I like the idea but I think there is a little too much detail lost.

A pretty OOF effect. However, there is too much empty space in the right half of the frame, and, IMO, you oversaturated the colours. 5

as much as i love this, i'm afraid it is far too subtle. maybe if it had just a hint more detail.

I love it! Composition is great - it is an abstract image but there is definitely a subject. The yellow is not just some "blob" but is made more substantial by the lines of green around the bottom and out of the bottom. It immediately says "flower" - in an understated way. The colors compliment each other perfectly.. and I like the ... I don't know how to put it but it seems that if I were to take this photo and adjust levels in Photoshop, I wouldn't be able to get anything more to my liking. Border is subtle yet definitely "there", acting as a way to hold in all the flowing color. Very very good image in my opinion.

Fabulous impressionistic piece. I hope the voters are being kind--this kind of work doesn't fare well on DPC.
