Astral Projection
by Yesac

Comment:
Yes. It's very beautiful. Not exactly abstract in literal terms, but certainly it is so in a figurative sense. There's a suggestion of yin-yang, and another of the out-of-body excursion referred to in the title. Acid trip for those of us who remember the 60s (which nobody does). I don't know what it means, but I like how it looks and how it makes me feel when I look at it for a while. 9.

Primordial Chaos
by davemce

Comment:
It's interesting you should say that because even the primordial chaos is governed by the universal laws. So there is an order here, beneath all the disorder. It's a very comforting thought. Religion for the non-credulous. 9.

Very lovely. It reminds me of a famous painting that's so famous I can't recall it. But it's good. Just like this. 9.

Quite beautiful. It's a seascape and a landscape, but there's no point at which one becomes the other. 9.

Dance like nobody's watching and live like its heaven on earth

I see what it is, but it actually suggested a glimpse of an ancient hominoid to me, celebrating some small triumph over environment (and see where that's got us now!)

Yes, that looks about right. I see a giant hieroglyph, scratched into the planetary surface. Beautiful amalgam of tone, texture and color in this image. There's just enough of everything; not too much of anything. It's lovely. 9.

Roentgen's Wings

Comment:
If only I had wings
Wings as white as yours
Up into the sky
I'd surely fly

Well thank you. I knew nothing of Hyde and the Roentgen Stories until I saw this and went where it took me. Beautiful photograph too. 9.

The best brown ever, surely? I thought it was quite lovely. I had wondered if my score of 9 was unreasonably niggardly. Alas, it was.

Its all Jazz to me!

It seems to be an exposure of 50 years as much as it does of 1 second. I especially admire the fact that the movement blur is so subtle, and yet so appropriate to the essence of the subject. A tremendously thoughtful and original photograph with several levels of reward for the viewer prepared to make the effort. 10. And the Order of the Thumb:
