Cool swirl. Composition is very interesting with everything in the centre. This is one of those times where the rule of thirds doesn't apply. I really like the subtle lines to the outside, but the bright section to the left of centre is just a bit too bright for my liking.

Beautifully composed shot. Reminds me of a spirograph.

Whoa, this fascinates me.. I wish I knew what it is :)
The centered composition works, but I would have preferred a much tighter crop.
Good job though

It seems a little too bright on the left side, but other than that, this is a really great shot. I like it.

If you look at this image from an angle, the inner black oval morphs to a perfect circle.

nice clean photo. excellent exposure. it's intriguing, but i'm not drawn into for some reason. perhaps that center is just too imposing. the odd thing is, it appears darker than the outside area. i guess it's doing it's job, as i now... can't... look... away. perhaps this photo just needs more attention, as it improves with age.
