I spooned yogurt onto some coins and then used a toothpick to cover the surface. I shot the photo next to a window in the evening and got some interesting reflections.
Thanks to my friend for the loan of the macro lense.

I missed this one in the challenge, but the simplicity of this is what makes it so great. The contrast of colors also adds to the effect, and I like this so much, and think it should have scored much higher.
First impression - One of the few true abstracts in the challenge.
Congratulations on knowing what an abstract is. Few entries were IMO abstract, but the voters didn't seem to care.
The idea here is good. The left weighted composition and the solid negative space play well. The color contrast is stark and sets off the main elements well.
The elements themselves look over processed to me. The dark halo and artifacting look as it this had too much USM applied.
Good effort that might have scored higher if the yogurt dots were processed better.
I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Nice job! very creative!! saw this in the challenge, and didn't exactly know what to think, but i did take quite a while to look at it! Congrats on your placing! wish it could have been higher for you!
