I have no idea what this is (I can make out a bit of the yellow flower). This looks outstanding though, and its one of my favourites this month.

Great abstract! Lovely colours too. Best of all, you don't have to worry about sensor dust :-)

Big sky and beautiful landscape, but it is lacking definition. The lighting should be at least as dramatic as the view.

A gorgeous abstract. Great title to help focus the eye. Would love to know how you created the overlay look...

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is the first image to pop up for me in voting - excellent!! Love the colours here - especially the polaroid blue hues. I like how it feels like a scratched transparency. I can clearly see the flower petals but I'm delighted you've retained so much mystery in this image. I like how it offer low and high contrast at the same time - I'm not sure how you've pulled that off.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: I really hope others enjoy this as much as I do. I wonder if the parallel Nixter challenge will open people up a little to the less conventional images sometimes offered up?
