CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE

My first impression is that the green in this is awesome. Very much an attention grabber.
Compositionally, because it is an abstract, it obviously does not have a "traditional" subject or place to rest the eyes. It is very busy though, and the eyes go right to left to right following the different waves. I'm not sure that I am particularly crazy about the tight vertical crop, and wonder what it would be like set on an angle. That might help to add some interest, as well as another direction of movement because not only would the eyes be following the green lines, they would also be moving diagonally through the frame. They do that some now, but the centered composition lends itself to being rather static. So, having a static composition with a busy subject creates tension. That can be good or bad, depending on what your objective was.
Technically, the simple colors work well for me. The green is very bright and energized and it is complemented/contrasted nicely with the black. The depth of field works well here, simply because it is not immediately noticable. It was only after viewing the picture for a minute or so that I realized some of it was soft.
This shot reminds me of music, for some reason. It has rhythm and movement, and looks like something someone could dance to.
Good work and best to you in future challenges.
