 The ceiling at the hospital, taken while waiting for my mother to come out of surgery. The dark square is the actual light fixture. Not good, wasn't taken with intent to enter, but I did like the effect when I played with it and am interested in comments on improving my work.

Beautiful. I gave it a 9. Very minimalistic, lovely structure, wonderful composition. Good luck next time.

I think this image was underscored. Honestly, I think a 5.7+ is more appropriate. The shapes and rhythm are very strong.

What weakens this most for me, I think, are the 3 blue spots in the black area (the light fixture, I guess). This picture is primarily graphical, and the blue spots distract from the clean geometry. the red tint at the bottom might be unnecessary as well - the color doesn't add much to the photo. the composition is strong enough that it works well as nearly pure tones.

Great abstract but can't really tell if its a negative or not though. Mind you I suppose in a way that means 'it works well as a negative'.

This is one of the few pictures in this challenge that are actually improved by the negative conversion. Well done.
