An eye catching image with excellent composition. I like the bit of color in the lower right and the great form you captured by moving the camera. Beautiful saturated colors. Best of luck in the contest.

I am really glad you explained to me how this was done, because otherwise I would never have guessed. This is both original and creative, and with the strong green colors against the dark background, your photo has a strong visual impact. I also like a lot that the background is not completely black, but have some dark blue hues and textures.

To talk about sharpness and well defined details in this image is of course useless, but the cosmic flower you have created have great colors and is also nicely exposed. The little spots of golden high light is also adding interest.

I especially like the simplicity of this abstract and the chiaroscuro effect is evident. I also think the flower has got a very good placement within the frame, and the format works well. Your post processing worked out well, and I think this is a great looking abstract. I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


This is creative and a unique entry that marries well with the title, yes we see it.

The chiaroscuro effect is excellent with dips of shadow/light giving an eerie look.

You composed it with artistic thought to give this cosmic flower room to fly into and the slight blur gives movement and engages us.

Good entry, strong contender....it was worth all that work, thank you for your notes.

This certainly looks like something from science fiction. How you managed to capture a sight like this is beyond a typical day in my life. This is absolute fantasy at its best.

Comment from nature rules


I like this very much. And I can certainly see why you would be please when you viewed what you had captured with your technic. Your black background makes this very dramatic. And your movement of lines in your light make this appear to be a neon light of sorts.

The center detail is decent considering your camera was moving. Actually it is rather amazing that you got it that well!!

Your colors are good and not over saturated so as to take away from any detail.

Framing is perfect!! Good luck in the contest!

    Thank you much for your thoughtful review. It was an ordinary light bulb, not neon. I softened the light and distorted the center detail in purpose with those filters in order to intensify the feel of movement.
Comment from Sean T Phelan


It certainly is an attractive piece,my friend!
The bright Green & Black coloration gives it a look that I'm seeing as beautifully Reptilian!
A 'Good Show' indeed!

    Thank you very much! I didn't of reptilian, but now were you say that I think it is. It is probably Moctezuma, the green feathered snake-god of the Aztecs.
reply by Sean T Phelan on 26-Sep-2016
    Yeah! It definitely has an Aztec look to it,doesn't it?
    You're very welcome,my friend! : )
