After challenge: Not a piece of existing artwork, I sat on a backdrop and painted with bottles of paint directly onto the paper. :P

an image like this that depends on the graphic lines for impact should be sharp thruout--yours is soft at the bottom. It's a nice idea and I like the composition.
Simple abstraction of the challenge details. There is a bit of dirt it seems on the lower right hand corner that could have been cropped out specially since the focus on the color isn't as sharp down there. 6
Now this is very interesting, like abstract art...maybe you have missed your calling. I like this alot, the only thing that would make this better is a deeper DOF, that's just my opinion however. Great concept, good luck! 8
3 - Meets the Challenge, just background is a little too bright in my opinion. Also not holding my attention overall enough, especially for what seems to be an abstract.
I like it. Made me think of the Denver Bronco immediately for some reason and since they are MY team, you get an extra point. I like the simple but creative approach to the challenge. I'd have liked to see the DOF extended to get paint at bottom in sharp focus, but that's a minor detail.
