For some reason this makes me think of Duchamp's "Bride Stripped Bare..." - enigmatic and fascinating - plus it appears to feature someone on fire, so how can you not like this? :)

That's a right crafty shot! It seems to be a shot thru a pet store window to me. It certainly makes for some good study.

This is quite an intriguing composition. I doubt that abstracts have strict rules about right or wrong to determine what you should or shouldn't like. Still, the horizontal lines on the left (delivery dock door?) and the shape of the person's right foot take away attention from the bet parts of the image. Why have elements that drag this away from being totally abstract? If you crop those out (your choice on how much space to leave on the right), you end up with something that would feel right at home in the Museum of Modern Art, and that would easily draw viewers back for repeated long examination.

No, you should like it. I love the blinds and the lines it creates. . .but I wonder mightily what is going on with the whir of blur trying to zoom out of the photo. I think a person. . .but what is he holding. . .or dropping. Hmmmmm. . .fascinating.

It has oomph. Is it a person? I think I see his right leg. I like the duplicity of the shapes as they are blurred. VERY abstract. I might play with contrast to really make the whites POP and the browns and blacks more intense. ;~D

Interest galore! As I sit here and study this I start to wonder why do I have to put visual tags on everything I look at. Maybe just the elements of the image on their own are what matter. The composition. The color. I think this stands on it's own as a visual treat, yes!

This is a great example why the rules of thirsts works like magic appealing to the eyes. Everything is in the right place matching perfectly that organization. Even the main focus point (top right thirsts intersection) has a starting trail to the main subject giving much more dynamic to the composition. Colour is perfectly combined. The brown and green against a clear/whitish blue creates a natural feeling usually seen in nature landscapes. So, first approach to this image is pleasant. The viewer just needs to stay in front of it and let his imagination, as desired, build the rest. Great Composition!

This shot has so much movement and mystery... I still wonder what it actually is, but that curiosity only adds to my appreciation of the image.

Looks like a bird cage and a man caught on fire. What's not to like?
