Greeting from the Critique Club,

Your image should be seen as an inspiration to us all, you have used a dreamy like abstract feel to what could be a very mundane subject and turned into a very beautiful artistic image. This is how we all can learn a little about creativity.

I was immediately drawn in by the curves and contours of the net and felt that something was broken more then seeing it. With clever use of DOF you have manipulated the viewer and induced them into your almost sensual image.

I like the colours and textures but would have preferred more saturation and I donĂ¢€™t think that would have taken too much away from the integrity of the photo. I really never saw the border for quite sometime after in this image but in hindsight it is almost a necessity now. Note the average DPC voter will not like it but I get the idea that will not worry you!.

Overall conclusion is that this work is very good and from someone who appears to be very talented in more then one form of art. I look forward to seeing more of your photography in future challenges.

Best Wishes

Tim Sturt

I like the dark finish of this photo. The duo-tone does well.

I like the dual tones, the abstract and dreamlike qualities (also helps that I like to play tennis and know that making the net interesting is no small feat) One of my ribbon picks this challenge

My bad - I must not have looked carefully at this or read the title of your shot. It is well done, in fact one of the best in the category.

I like the play of this, and the watery feel. It really isn't a field of photography that does much for me however, the near-abstract, it might, for all I see in it, as well be graphic design.

really cool coloring. A border that actually works! The subject is I guess a net or something? it has a lot of appeal but I think it's mostly the nice colors. Overall one of my favorites. 7.

It doesn't look much like a neural net... and as a net, it doesn't really look *that* broken. However, I really like the color and DOF. Bonus points for originality.

Way too much border. None is needed.

This is a tremendous abstract, I think you might have trouble for being a little too far out of the box, but I like this a lot. 9.

Reminds me a lot of a certain "project slinky." (It's a similar style of photo, and you've used the same border). Apologies if I have the photographer's identity wrong. It's a nine whoever you are.
