Color, saturation, hue, brightness and contrast are all excellent.
I might have liked a tiny bit more depth of field. Just enough to keep the yellow/green stripped line sharp to the edge of the frame. Just a personal preference, not a major point.
This picture really meets the challenge. I like the play of the shapes and the colors. The only other suggestion I have, would be for a little more detail in the lower left of the frame. There is really nice texture and shape to the blacks, until the seem to meld into a undefined shape lower left. Again, a minor point and more of a personal preference.
Overall an excellently done photo, and well deserving of the top ten finish it received.
Beautiful, soft light and lines. I love the blurry gold one in the front. Nice job, and the soft gold way in the background. Total effect really neat. 10
i like it! The yellow on the right is a little distracting because it takes up so much of the picture. Still i have no idea what this is so im giving it a 10
