This picture is so authoritative. It says I AM ART. It says I AM BEAUTIFUL IN A PURELY VISUAL WAY. I recently listened to some British artist who's a big deal over there, and she was talking about her circle paintings. Whatever gibberish she said applies better to your picture than to hers.

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: A devoted study of bokeh. Very bold! Made more so by your choice to present this in monochrome. I think that choice works though, the overlapping multiple shades of grey is a little mesmerising.

Critical stuff: Such pieces only have so much interest to offer - I think you have made a good job of what's here but I'm sure that's enough to enthral a viewer.

Overall: Effective as far as it goes but I'm not sure it pushes enough of my buttons to be truly enjoyable.
