Something about these abstracty images just doesn't excite me. It might be the general malise towards abstracts, it might not... I dunno, it just doesn't reach out and grab me and say anything.
Nice creative use of composition and DOF. The way the object appears to twist in and out of focus really makes this interesting as well as adds depth to the shot. Admittedly, the 'burst of color' theme seems really understated here. But I like the shot regardless..... 7
I like these warm set of colors. What I don't like is the lack of focus in the middle area. The very OOF center leads my eye towards the top of the image then it is driven by the texture further to the very top-right corner where I feel cornered, losing all the other details.
