Looks like a macro of an insect's eye.....it's no worse than many of those placing above you. Some shots just don't appeal to the masses.

Technicals: focus and sharpness are good. The lighting is nicely done. No blowouts and there is enough detail in the darks.

The feel: as an abstract, it probably has about the right score, middle of the road. I like the pattern of the blinker portion. Repeated geometries are a good idea in abstracts (although I am hardly an expert). You try to provide some context with the right half and I'm not sure if this helps or not. As a true abstract, it doesn't. As a "DPC" abstract, it may. DPC is not really an abstract kind of place.

The game: as mentioned, it's really a crapshoot to know what flies here for abstract. The winners are rarely truly abstract (in that you don't know what it is), but they also have strong themes of colors and patterns. The two halves of your shot may have ultimately hurt you in the end. There isn't a good synergy between them.

I like the way the red and gold play off of each other. This is a great shot and perfectly subtle.
