Shamefully poor finish for this serene and lovely abstract; hell, I practically matched it with my "juicer in frypan" shot, and that of course is not even int he same league :-)

I thought I commented... I found this a motivating study of perception...looks like some sort of percussion instrument.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Immediately makes me think zeuszen or clive_patric_nolan. If I had to bet on just one I'd go for the former. I like the mystery of this image - because we can't discern what it is we can't help but focus on the pure form and the light. I really like the toning and coloration too - perfect for this shot.

Critical stuff: The slightly 'cruddy' pixelated background - it pulls may away from the banded edge of the vessel(?).

Overall: Not for everyone and I do find these sorts of images tend to constrain rather than liberate my eye and brain but having said that, this is certainly very well made.

I have come back to this photo, to try to understand it better, but I'm still left tilting my head (like a puppy) in confusion. Sorry :-/

Great abstract. Such gorgeous tones and gradient. The striped edge adds a lovely and powerful diagonal element which guides me around the image.
