I kinda dig this, but I think you'll end up being a bit too abstract for most voters.

These types of photos are the hardest for me to score and I find myself sitting back and just staring at it for a few minutes waiting for it to say something. In this case, the lower portion I find very pleasing, particularly the change in brightness as you go from the corners to the edge. The background, however, I am having a difficult time appreciating. The seemingly random presentations of colors and brightness levels don't harmonize with the lower portion. As far as the orbs, the two above the depression do play nicely with the bottom part, but the one on the right doesn't look like it belongs.
