Greetings from the critique club :)

Well I honestly am a bit stumped here and don´t really know what to say. I took a look at your portfolio and the other two challenges you have entered say to me that you know what you are doing so this image is obviously intentionally out of focus and abstract.

Frankly, I don´t really care for it and had I voted I probably would have given it a 3, I simply am not a fan of abstract art so that´s a personal issue/preference.

Since you are new here I´ll just say this, if you want to score well here your images usually have to be technically well done (wich I can see you can achieve by your other photos) and then have some special interest.

This image simply looks like (to me at least) you accidentally pressed the shutter while pointing the camera at the floor and I guess that is what most other people thought, hence the low score.

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

Not sure what this is so cannot be to impressed. Sorry! It 'appears' to be very out of focus. I assume by "Gust" that these may be clouds but you should try and have something as a point of focus to give us a better idea. I do like the colors though! (5)

Uuhhhh...without the title, I wouldn't have thought "shadow"....nice color though. Want to paint my kitchen backsplash that color! Warm glow.

blur is beautiful!

is anything in focus here?

I just don't get it. However, I'm really bad with abstracts.

Nice abstract with a dreamy feel to it

i like this image a lot.
i'm having trouble with it in the context of the challenge though.
i can see how they are probably shadows.
but, there is no focus point or any other point of reference.
so, great abstract image, but not fitting in with the challenge too much for me.

Very abstract.

I just wish I could get a bit more of a sense of what the shadows are from
