Critique Club:
Well, it's definitely High Contrast!...and quite dizzying!
I'm not sure if I like the crop. Although it does make it clear that the subject is window blinds, I think I would like to see a closer crop. With all the psychedelic colors, I think it would look great as more of an abstract.
There seems to be some distracting jagged edges in the blinds but those could have been caused by one of the many plug-ins you listed in your comments. It looks to be a bit over-sharpened. I'm not sure what all those plug-ins do but it does seem to be a bit of overkill on the processing.
High Contrast is fairly easy to achieve in camera. It looks like you've taken an ordinary photo and made it high contrast through a LOT of processing. I know how much fun it is to use all the cool filters and plug-ins but sometimes less really is more. I would suggest working more on making your photography speak and not letting the processing be the star of the show. Just my opinion, of course.
Good luck in future challenges! :-)

| A tighter crop or shot would have eliminated the wall on the right bottom which IMO is a bit distracting. Love the originality ... nice job. |

| I see some contrast and the shades "trick" my eyes into a sense of motion, but I find the subject matter lacking compared to other photos in this challenge. |

| I actually like this photo...the colors and the abstract feel to it. However, if I look at it too long, my eyes get buggy. |

| I'm not fond of this shot only because I want to see more behind the blind then what I can. I di like that you can only see a hint of trees or bushes ad it leave more to the mind then usual. The composition and colors are great altho I'm not quite sure how this was done. Good luck in this challenge. <6> |
