I've been wanting to do something with this vase as soon as I saw the challenge. Also wanted it colorful. Not just because that goes down well at DPC but because I love colorful abstracts. I'm especially a fan of blue and green so this wrapping paper made the perfect background (was too lazy to move the laptop and use that as a background.

Here's hoping for a 6 :)

Greetings from the Critique Club

The first thing that I see when I look at this is the nice soft colors against some good even curves. Wonderful color here. Great job with the background, I wouldn't have guessed it was a glass vase or wrapping paper, Unique ideas leading to a nice composition. I like how the glass ripples are overtaking and providing nice movement in 3/4 of the frame, the slight distortion of the background is wonderful. The whiter streak on the right is a bit distracting, maybe a light reflection. Very nice abstract and definately has the "Wow" feel but its just not strong enough. Maybe bringing the contrast and saturation up a bit would really strengthen this. Overall, Its a good picture, fits the challenge perfectly and a nice strong title. Well done.
