Nice deep low angle with a nice curve give this a nice expansive feel. Probably needs just a few stars in the right corner and it would be perfect. Cheers.

Greetings from the critique club...

If it weren't for your description, I wouldn't have been able to guess what this was. A very interesting abstract photograph. This might have done well in the "Abstact Macro" challenge.

The main room for improvement is not the photograph itself, but how the photograph relates to the challenge. For a "fill flash" challenge, most viewers are expecting to see a dominant light source with the use of a secondary (fill flash) light source to fill in the darker areas. This is difficult to discern in your photograph since we cannot see either of the light sources. I believe this is the main reason your photograph did not score higher.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

Excellent - I think they wanted something other then real stars. But, did I say I think the photo is excellent? I think so: 10
