Interesting abstract (I am assuming a paper weight). Great colors and curves. Bumping up.

Don't know what this is and it doesn't really matter (I'll assume it's glass); the colors work really well together and it's a lovely image!

I like the different lines & shapes in your photo, even though it doesn't look tack sharp.

Very graphic- great composition, though I think the frame is a little distracting

This is so dreamy ! I love Turqoise and browns together. The pearly air bubble looking areas give this such a art feeling ! Is this a paper weight ?
LOVE it !

Pretty with nice color. You could have cropped off that lighter part at the bottom and made it better IMHO

I would have cropped the bit of white off the bottom, but otherwise it's a great picture to look at. It pulls you in and leads you all around the image. Nice shot.

I like the image, but the frame doesn't add anything in my opinion, and actually detracts from the shot.
