Ok, POP QUIZ Smart Dude!
You look into your portfolio of vast shots & post the one you think is the best of the best. But in order to post, you must leave an indepth critique of the poster's shot above you.
What happens? Well. that remains to be seen...
Post away folks!
Here's mine
p.s. i call all cool cats "dude". This is by no means a male-exclusive thread!
POST ON!

The strongest thing going for this shot is the composition with the pleasing line of jellies from upper left to lower right. The hint of background is excellent and I like the fade to absolute black. I loooove sharpness so I would ask for a tiny bit more here. Either your DOF or your lens left you lacking a bit in the mass of upper right. The border, BTW, looks wrong. You have an extra pixel on the right at lower sides. It is, however, a nice complementary color for the image. Artistically, the composition gives it the nice flowing feel which is what I would think you want with a shot of jellyfish.

Bastard! Ok, now I'll do you...
This suffers from what I see a fair amount in abstracts. It wants to be an abstract, but it still provides context of "what it is". In trying to provide both it suffers. I would either crop much closer to the vortex or crop more traditionally (not so centered) and make it less abstract. The color is pleasing, although I'm not sure if the selective desat works.

If it makes you feel better, your critique was along the same lines as mine, but we were opposite on some parts.
