 I had trouble thinking of ideas for this one, and I don't expect to do well, because I'm sure there will be more creative ideas out there, but over all, I like the picture. I'm a ska fan, meaning I love checkers, and I like how the different sizes and forms of the checkers turned out.

I upped the contrast a bit.
I also made it greyscale, but that didn't really change anything because it was black and white already.

Busy but very intriguing as well. Sometimes it appears the ringy thingy is "floating" above the surface. Wish I could tell a bit more what it is. Nice job!

Definitely black and white. Glare off of top box slightly distracting. 7.

The watchband(?) doesn't seem in keeping with the rest of the image. Nice op-art approach.

I don't like looking at this picture. It's bordering on painful. but it does fit the challenge fairly well, and is not bad for an abstract
