I really enjoy this, especially the more grainy bits. I agree with PennyStreet as well.

I like it too. All except that somehow it feels like it should be let loose from it's border.

Ah, the most painful position in a challenge. NEXT to last. Been there. Don't know why folks couldn't see this is a shape...

This is interesting. The technical flaws are many, but my suspicion is that you weren't out to make a technically perfect photo. The flat lighting and motion blur make this very unique. I like it for what it isn't.
