Great job, congrats on 5th! I love the flow and color of this. I think it might have been even stronger if you avoided the brighter area being vertical and near horz center.
The best parts of this image are the large sweeping forms, gentle ribbons of light and color. These curves of light gently draw me into the photo and fill me with peaceful thoughts and feelings. Very nicely done.
These commom abstracts are fine to behold, for sure, but I was looking for more creative usage of the Blurry Mess license. Not that this isn't fun to look at, nor that it doesn't contain elements of the challenge stipulations -it's just that this could have easily been in some other abstract challenge.
I'm looking for more unconventional, even literal use of the theme to seperate the wheat from the chaff in this challenge - and that's what makes this challenge so inherently difficult, and difficult to score.
Overall a beautiful abstract, that would have gotten high points elsewhere, but only slightly above average for this particular challenge.
I like this picture on 2 levels: the forms and curves altough in nature very dynamic. combined with the warm brown color and the brighter area in the top middle creates a point to rest and explore along the curves
