The color changes are visually pleasing. The ribbon in the middle makes for a neat abstrat as the veins or lines ar oriented differently. Good idea.

This is a great shot. In my opinion it needs a little more contrast to seperate the edges, define the texture and really make it POP. Good artistic shot though.
