This is awesome! I'm one that doesn't really connect with abstract art very well -- but I love this type of blur and motion. This is wonderful! Congratulations on an honorable mention.
Very effective and thanks for the rare abstract shot. If this doesn't make the front page next week I may have to scream at my monitor until my wife makes me stop :P
-AAaarrrggggghhhhh!!! Congratulations on the 4th place & new PB with such an excellent shot and especially for actually meeting such a difficult challenge.
This is very beautifully done - delicate hand with your twist and zoom. The vortices convey what I imagine to be the chakral energies. Congratulations on an excellent personal best.
The fire has many colors of red and orange and yellow which makes it very rich. I like the touch of green in this photo too. I only wish the fire was more off center :-) It almost like like the fire bird rising...really cool the reason I say it looks like the fire bird is because the green area looks like the head of a fire bird....Nice! Overall it does evoke emotion :-)

I really like this and originally gave it a 7. I think I'm going to up it to an 8. If it were mine, I might play with contrast a smidge and possibly the saturaiton of color but it really is good - is it smoke?
