crazy saturation. I like it. The red strips on the sides kind of detract though.

The white in the background really bothers me... the concept is great, and I understand you needed a lot of light for this, but still a bit distracting. 6

7 - Nice. 'Clean'. Hovering a little too closely between red/green and pink/yellow/orange too much in my opinion - Like to have seen the 'scheme' a little stronger for this Challenge. Quality dependent, 640 height likely given this a little extra too.
