This definitely speaks to the challenge. I love the use of the chrome to reflect the environment - it adds a unique quality to this image. 9

I'm 25% into this challenge and this is my fav so far. Portrait is spot on, lighting is exceptional, creative use of reflection, lots going on in the surroundings, doesn't even seem that posed, the lack of title is perfect. Would be shocked if this wasn't top 10. 8

Just my opinion, of course, but I think poetry and photos of waves are a perfect pairing.

Exactly what I thought when I looked! Reminds me of and Elvis song for some reason, not sure why...

Very nice. (Oh, come on Spiff, that's SUCH a lame-o comment!)

Very cool looking. It appears to be shaking at a high RPM with awesome lighting bolts coming out of it. (Have you had the plug wires checked for arcing recently?)

Well done! Now this is a great idea, and fits the theme comfortably, but with a little room left for the "messy" aspect, which is what makes this challenge so difficult to score. Definitely above average in this challenge! Call me engaged, too!

More "unintended" consequence would have sold me on the messy aspect, however, so I'm not awarding points for creativity on what is otherwise another simple abstract of light in this challenge. An element of the unpredictable would have added to this.

Your use of engine vibration to distort and move light gives this slight seperation from the more common abstracts though.
