Can I ask, what is cloning? I've seen this mentioned a few times. I was under the impression it was against the rules to remove objects from the original. How is this done without breaking the rules?

I love this photo by the way.

I like the colors and it is a real abstract. Only the lower left corner is distracting.

FABULOUS! Just a wonderful, wonderful shot, and it's so exciting to see a San Diegan (okay, an Oceansidian) take a big blue ribbon! You made me proud with this image!

Evocative, attractive abstract. Good colors. Nice idea. There is a semicircular outline near the bottom of the frame that looks like a water spot that I would have cloned out. Given your title, I might have used selective color to maximize the blackness of the blacks, blues and cyans to give it a darker background and a more "space like" feel. Terrific job, though... you are to be commended.
