An interesting abstract. I hope you disclose what we are looking like after the challenge is over.

hmmm i looked up this word but the closest i can find is several restaurants with this name. unless it's just a form of the english word "japanese"? i like the abstract and the use of b&w here.

I see confetti but also deep scars. A contradiction, of course. And it's that dissonance that keeps me staring at it. Trying to resolve it. But the beauty is that it resists such efforts.

Ten.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but I'm always drawn to this type of image. 7 for the fascination

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:There is just something about this image that resonates with my brain. The rotational scratches and the 'spattery' marks that allude to centripetal forces creates a sense of dynamism. This sense should be smothered by the grey coloration but the light of the reflective metallic surface breathe life into the image. I also like how the grey has so much variance.

Critical stuff: More of an observation but you already know this image is unlikely to be accessible to all.

Overall: I think this is a confident image from someone who knows their way. Nicely done.

Well, yes indeed it is ... in style, in spirit, and also (with a bit of imagination) in cartographic terms. It's a beautiful thing, and effortlessly transcends the photographic medium. But I'd hang it on my imaginary wall of 2010 photographic excellence, because I don't have a wall of transcendent excellence yet. This definitely goes up there when I do. Thank you.

Reminds me of Japaneses art, but without a subject. If you were going for a interesting pattern or backdrop you nailed it, but maybe not for this comp. Good Luck
