Well I really loved this photo, and gave it a 9. I'm a bit shocked you came in where you did. I thought your DOF gave it more of a hot look (heat wave).

Nice colors. A bit more DOF would have shown more details.

Turned out to be a really nice abstract. There's a sense of serenity and Zen to it. I like the white frame, too.
