Good abstract. Good color. Good framing. Needs a bit more dof imo.

Wow. The color is really good here. The lighting is perfectly done to get that "glow" through the edges. However, I wish the DOF had been tweaked to get the whole thing in focus. At least for me, in abstract shots like this where my eye is wandering all over the place, I want the whole thing to be in focus. To me, this just isn't as sharp as it could be. Nice job, though.

I really like the composition and colors, but if you hadn't told, me, I'd never have known I was looking up.

Great exposure, but I would have liked to see greater DOF to highlight the awesome sharpness present in most of the photo. Still, well done.
