It certainly is abstract, and certainly has movement, but, I'm sorry, but I don't find it very compelling. I think it would actually be much stronger without the colors at the top. The blues and pinks are very lovely, but the red and gold/orange doesn't seem to add anything to the picture (IMO only)

A nice energy, but the color play is a little too forceful. There is no real coherent feel here (even an abstract should attempt to tell a story or bring cohesive interest together), so I'm left feeling a little lost and disinterested.

Nice take, not sure if I would have loved to see a bit more of the top or would have cropped it out all together.

Nice colors. The money belt adds to the mystery of the shot. You're getting good at this!

I strayed away from this challenge because even though motion is out of focus I knew I would get.........this is out of focus comments I'm glad you went with it the colors are great but not sure what the shimmy is
