The bright colors do evoke emotion, perhaps something a little dizzier and scarier than carpe diem, although siezing the day can be both of those things. Good job.

A lively sense of vibrance and indeed a seize the day kinda thing. Well done for the challenge and fun photograph on its own.

Seize the day and I've seen a lot of 'carp' photos in the newly uploaded photo pages and I imagine that's what this is. It's got abstractedness for sure but it doesn't make me want to directly seize the day.

I don't think I've ever seen so much excitement in a leaf photo. This definitely communicates the title!

A great shot. Very colorful, and along the lines of being a true abstract image (though not quite there:-)

Beautiful colors. My only concern is how it fits the challenge.
