Yes, we must have swopped bodies. Enjoy the nightmares dude!

Cool abstract though! Looks like a sunspot. I like it! (also, cheers for pointing out the Dragon/Damsel fly thing. I didn't know the difference.

Sorry man, but I would have given it a five. I love an abstract, and this is quite nice with the depth and pulsing motion, but there's a great deal to it that has me wondering if someone just hasn't gone haywire on the sliders. There's enough smooth gradation to make me think it's not just knob twiddling for twiddling sake, but there isn't enough of a feel to the image to convince me the photographer has any connection, or that I should spend time to find a connection. Right about middle is how I see it as presented on its own.

Interestingly, one of the things I do not like about it is the color. It's just a bit jarring to me, and I prefer my abstracts more subtle, almost mysterious. I bet if you'd gone grey tones you'd get a lot more love its.

I think I already told you this, but I'll repeat it anyway... :D

The first time I saw it, I thought it was glorious and would have given it an 8. Now, for some reason, it just doesn't seem to glow as much as when I first saw it. It almost makes me curious whether it's daytime or nighttime viewing differences.

You can put me in the 'love it' category, but I gan certainly see how someone could hate it, too. I'm surprised you got so many "meh" votes.

This is nice - you gotta work harder on the 'hate it' part ;-) Something's not working for me with the orientation or composition - I want to go into the tunnel on the right and I can't. But, you've got lovely colors, well controlled highlights (in context), and the swiss cheese effect is kinda cool. For me, the best abstracts are subliminally suggestive of something representational, this allows a toehold of a sort.

They don't like abstracts and they don't like fish either. ROFL!

I found the 'space' on the left uninteresting so gave you a 5 :-P
If the brighter area covered more I think I would have preferred that.
