Infinite Upward Spiral

I struggled to find words for a critique while this challenge was running and failed, now I find myself with your image as my first assignment with the critique club.

so here goes;

I like this image. It has a feeling of movement, the colours work and I like the perspective. I also like your choice of border.

A different crop may help. Cropping some of the nebulous swirls at the bottom and cleaning up the top to make it more distinct would create more drama.

I would crop it just below the pink item and use a clone tool or paintbrush to darken & remove the "noise" at the top right and crisp up the edge.

This is a good abstract effort and I think if you experimented a bit more with increasing the angle to lengthen the object it may produce a more provocative image.

I hope this helps.

This is one of those images that the viewer must sit with and try and decide if the intent was to have a very soft focus or it was inadvertent. I can't decide even having viewed it a number of times. The light is a good element this could be a really good image with a little more work, I feel. 5

This is a nicely composed image. I think the use of a polarizing filter would have helped eliminate the glare which distracts from the overall quality. 5

Took me a bit to catch on to this one. The noise is distracting. Composition is good. 4

The focus is distracting to me in this shot. Either sharper or softer. Colour is good, composition works. A neater background would be helpful also. 4
