Super cool effect. And the blurryness adds to the mystery. I'd never have figured it out if you didn't tell me. In fact the *only* change I would have made would have been the sharp white ring in the background which highlights the fact the rest of the photo is soft. Otherwise perfect.
Have no idea what this is so I guess that makes it a fun abstract then, eh? :-) Yes, there are curves. Not seeing much that's in focus however. Sorry. Good luck in the challenge.

This is a beautiful abstract. It's a bit of a love it or hate it shot. The voters who are all about the technicals will possibly just see blur and such and vote lower and the ones who go for emotion will feel it's raw power. I'm a bit of both. I assume most people are. but I really appreciate this. I truely hope you are scoring well. It's wonderful.
