Taken indoors in the dark. Used a rotating light astro ball. Helped by moving the camera as I took the photo. Interesting effect that reminded me of a jellyfish. Cropped,light/shadow, contrast/brightness, hue/saturation, sharpened.Darkened some areas.

Highly impressive and very colorful. Bumping up.

nice combination of colors, it's interesting to look at, but i think the dead-center framing hurts it a little bit.

Colorful abstract with a good solid black background.

Pure abstracts that do not have an immediately discernable tie with reality like this one typically do not do well in DPC voting. There are exceptions but they must be technically perfect. Viewers likely will think this is a spur of the moment idea that was not particularly well thought out.

This image has two bright washed out areas at the center of the composition. They are major viewer distractions that will hurt it in scoring. It also has some image noise. Exessive noise reduction software smoothing would probably work well with this particualar image.

While this may be seen in another world, it has no interest to me. It seems like a blurry bunch of colors. Sorry.

Great idea. Fun. Wish it wasn't quite so soft.

Curiously out of focus, yet it doesn't matter - that's just how this looks. I'd almost prefer a more neutral title, since I didn't think "jellyfish" when I saw this. Lovely abstract, great for the challenge, nice colours........ love it!
