i look again, and am quite impressed that this is an unedited photo.
i gave it a 9 during the voting despite thinking it was generated....

well done.

Greetings from the critique club!!!

This is a great photograph. Very strong composition, compelling visually, and certainly abstract. You provide a difficult subject to critique in depth, primarily because of the high quality of the shot. But here goes!! I'll rip you as I can.

The first question that I ask myself is when critiquing is, if this were mine, would I bother to print it and hang it on my wall. In this case the answer is definately yes.

The second question I ask, is if I were a photo editor, would I print it. And what would I ask the photographer to touch up. Keeping in mind that I would only want perfect photos appearing in my publication.

In the case of Flow...I would ask that you crop a little tighter. The light waves being higher to the left, are tugging my eye to the right. But be careful, the central ovals need to remain center. I might ask that you fade the green foreground on the left, just below where the lightwaves start, to match the foreground rather than the background.

I might ask that you do the same on the right, only the opposite, blend more skytones above the first light ray. All of this said to acheive more balance, and to keep my from veering right. Do those things, and I would print Flow.

I hope that you found this constructive. russ

simple but effective, great minimalistic approach after the abundance of shapes and colors in many others.
