 My first attempt at zoom photography.

I use the word "stasis", not as it refers to blood flow, but as "a condition of balance among various forces; motionlessness" (as per TFD); therefore, I used "anti-stasis" to represent movement and motion.

Good choice in not centering the focal point. I also really like the different colors (im partially color-blind, so contrasting colors kind of fascinate me).

Oh well it's motion alright and abstract too, it keeps moving while looking at it LOL Meeting the rules, but I think I go crazy if it was hanging on my wall. Bit psychodelic abstract, can't look at it long or my eyes go ballistic.

Like the color and the way the eye is drawn to the off center focal point.
