Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Labuda...

This particular photo is tough to swallow, for the most part. It has some interest as an abstract, but since it has no real subject, your viewers probably didn't get a quick interest in it. A photo like this just lets a viewers eye wander around and never find a resting place on any point of interest. Great abstract photos, where there is no subject, usually have a focal point of some sort. Even if the viewer can't determine what he is looking at, there will be a point of interest that overpowers the rest of the image....

Nice texture, but subject a bit too poor to be interesting. Could be used as screen background.

Not sure if this is what a cell looks like on the molecular level, but its interesting. I can see this being used as a magazine cover.

I cannot imagine this as a cover photo - too abstract for any magazine I've ever seen.
