Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This image has an interesting abstract feel to it. It's a nice technique-drive image with a twist of surrealism at the same time :) The color play also works ok here. I'm not as keen on the blue fade from the center of the image to the right side. I believe you could probably work this image into something a little stronger in the realm of colors. Blue is not as complementary of red as green would be. In a nutshell, I really like the idea and have actually been thinking about something along these lines for my own portfolio.

As for the challenge, I notice that the score on this image is OK but not outstanding. The theme of 'shapes' is not really the dominant theme of this image. When one thinks of shapes, the general view would be shapes with definition, like a triangle, rectangle, circle, or diamond. The shapes that dominate this image are random curves, which none-the-less, are shapes. The feeling I get from this image is more along the lines of texture than shape probably.

I think this subject/technique is well worth some further experimentation... keep up the good work :)

For any of those who had asked, what I did for the picture was drop red food coloring into a vase. Anybody see the dog in the middle? lol. Anyways flipping the photo I think had a big impact on the photo...
Biggest mistakes was not cropping a little bit from the left hand side, and one thing I couldn't fix was the darkness on the right side of the "out of the ordinary" shape. OH well...

Sidenote: Could not disagree more with the first place ribbon, there were SOOO many better photos in there!

Very interesting - Maybe it would've been better if you cropped the bit on the right away??? Still deserves a 6 though.

Unusual shapes but doesn't move me.....

Great shapes of the liquid, would prefer if the blue on the right side were cropped out.

very interesting photo, and interesting shape! What is it?!! I find the green part on the right a bit distracting though.

Interseting. Image is not crisp enough for my taste.

I hate you. :)
This is the 75th image I've seen in this challenge, and I thought I had figured out what was going on, and now ? Apoplexy. 1 or 10?
After further review... 8 Too much area to the left.

Love the right edge...wish at least half of the left edge were cropped...i.e., less centered.
