Trippy Neon

Interesting. I wonder if you tried viewing it at different rotations. For some reason, I'm wanting to see how this looks placed horizontally. I think it is because it has a wave-like effect and my eye is slightly disturbed by 'waves' flowing up. Of course, you might be seeing it as something else. If is funny how once the brain locks onto a form in an abstract (like seeing shapes in clouds) it is hard to get that one form out of one's mind. :-D I like the colors very much and the fact that it is not so blurred as to elimnate some lovely lines.

This is rather stunning. It has the feel of a Spanish-Grease shot. I wonder if I'm right. I'd love to know how the brilliant star effect was achieved? A starlight filter? Great color. I really like the gradiations of color created in the shadow of the glass and the cobalt blue reflection on the glass. Blue and green look wonderful together. This is an Open challenge so cloning isn't allowed but later on, I would clone out the brightest white reflection spots on the glass-- the one on the nearest rim and the large one that is 'floating' inside the glass.

Very nice. I like your 'seeing'. A good abstract! Thanks for sharing it. IMO, it could be a titch sharper but perhaps you intended the softer focus.

The jet stream cloud detracts from the tranquility and timelessness this shot scene should convey.
It is a bit contrasty with rather faded looking color. I would suggest returning at a different time of day to take advantage of more interesting lighting.

I really liked the mood and character of this shot. It works as art outside the concept of the challenge. Lovely.
Should have been a ribbon winner.

This should have been the Blue. Just my opinion.

This is an interesting shot. I'm not sure how I feel about the extremely narrow cropping. Was the blown out background intentional? I would suggest that the area of shaodow in the foreground is more interesting the background. Your meter seems to have read from the darker foreground which overexposed the background. In this case, the thing to do is fool your camera's meter by setting it to a -EV number. You'll get a shorter exposure which will result in a more natural sky and greater detail in the area of shadow play in the foreground.

A bit overexposed. My guess is the meter took a reading for the dark water. I would suggest, when taking a shot that can easily fool the meter (lights of contrast between lights and darks) using a -EV setting to trick the meter into exposing for some of those brighter areas. This will create greater detail in your lights and darks.
