Beautiful abstract. I love the colors, light, and ripples. And the threads throughout really make it, IMO, giving it definition.

Hey, the commenters got it right yet again! This one belongs in a gallery (art, not shooting). You're an idiot if you don't give yourself an award for this (or at least way too humble).

Greetings from the Critique Club -

So you actually post your images up to the CC club huh? Well - let's see how I do.

This actually kind of grabbed me in voting. I gave it a 6 which means I liked it, it didnt totally fail as an image in my eyes, but that it lacked the wow power for a higher score. Wow power for me is an image that makes me want to hang out on it longer. not necessarily typical eye candy, but somethign that grabs me. I found it pleasing in general, though hanging out here and looking at it more to comment on it it seems to lack a bit more. The longer I look at it the less power it has.

I do appreciate that you didnt clone out the "imperfections" on her hand. The little nicks or whatever they are. I wonder what it would have looked like if the background was black rather than white. The feeling of the image is similar to Yankos. Not a full blown sadness but maybe a slight despondency.

I dont know. When it comes to critiquing certain peoples work I know that odds are they are looking for ways to make the image better in a DPC kind of way. Ways to get them a better score. But in your case I have to assume thats not the case. So on that end I am really not sure what else to add, except keep on doing what you do.

Tim

Remarks: a multi-tiered whirlpool of drawn colour and tone, kempt by wisps and disturbed by shafts of exquisite light. Scale-like patterns are both forming and dissolving, not without direction and definition, while a myriad of lines appear as drawn funnels of a gaseous whole, exhibiting sectional patterns in flux. A slate middle ground overlays much of the image, except where the most gorgeous cyans shine through suggesting a virtual space underlying the background. Where the motion becomes chaotic, it is imbued as if with blood, writhing and rising from an ambiguity of somber, muddied tones forward, toward the viewer, falling to air.

A less ambiguous minutia appears to be figurative, as an Easter egg that looks like a worm or a portion of a thin branch bathing in twilight. I'd say "hurrah", if only there was another image like this one (or several) as part of a larger exhibit that would give the one in front of me a context.

As it is, I cannot, in good conscience, attempt to assign a value to this photo that isn't quite arbitrary.

Mmmm. Incredible abstract and what a face! It has the feel of colored glass and it's so rich with color and texture that I could hang it on my wall and look at it over and over again. The only nipicky thing I might alter is the white spot along the left edge, but even with that this is awesome! Good luck in voting and congratulations on a great shot.

Whoa! Nice creepy distortion.The lighting on the eyes is a little too harsh, it bleaches out his skin too much, but its perfect on the lips.
