Interesting. I like the depth I see to this image. I do see it as somewhat abstract, but I found the color and lighting a bit boring - there was just nothing that grabbed my eye and held it.

makes me feel like I am in an oreo cookie ice-cream shake whirlwind of a storm..
Ok, I am hungry and that is what it reminds me of.. not sure of exactly what these are but I like the abstract of how it seems to suck me in this storm of specks.
The colors blend nicely and I like how the focus is in the middle and it seems to pull the photo together
also bumped up the vote too
