 natural light from behind;

Wow thats a stunning abstract, really nice soft colors and the "what is that?" factor that keeps you looking at the image :-)

wow this took me a while - I don't usually like corny refraction images but this has a bizarre alien feeling to it that puts it over the top. It's different from any others that i've seen by far. The light is great and the reflected background makes it look like some sort of organic pod or something. well done. 9

Cool. First thing that popped into my head was "cool." Nice lighting and clarity. I don't know if I like this particular subject with such a modern background. That is just personal opinion, though. And, of course, this challenge is called "Abstract Food." Nicely done in fulfilling the challenge.

This is a creative image. I like the lighting and the textured backdrop/foreground. I'm not really sold on the border - but I'm sure you've heard that before.

Love the focus in this, and the blend of soft colors. It is interesting and pleasing to look at. If you have a moment, I'd love to know how you made the border - haven't been able to figure out how to do that yet. Overall, 10, good luck!
