Do voters not like pure abstract? 5.8 isn't bad but it should be in the top ten (at least). Gorgeous -- and once again fits your username!

Love the intense color! Looks like you PP the original a little bit before flipping it. For me, the King is the black silhouette in the center, sitting on his throne. The bottom half is a reflection in a highly polished floor. Like a storybook illustration.

I love it - I'm a huge fan of abstract color imagery, in particular the types of weird shapes one can get playing with reverse images. This is absolutely beautiful - gorgeous. Probably not to everyone's taste, but hey - that's what makes the world go 'round. Well done.
