This is actually a close up photo of a blown glass ball . I took it purposely with nothing in sharp focus to see what I would get. This is the result and I'm quite pleased with it. The only nit pick I have is the "specks" on the upper left of photo. It is imperfections in the glass and I was unable to get rid of them completely.

Score wise I think people with either like it or not so it will either do well or not. I'm hoping more like it than not though :).

First instinct was low score because the blurry shapes just wouldn't gel into anything my eyes could consider interesting. On return, the thumbnail is a big help in making the "mouth" and multiple "eyes" easier to detect, although rather disturbing. Bumping up a couple of points.

Unlike some this is definitely one of those shot OOF on purpose. An abstract that's perhaps deeply more rooted in concept than visually. I see something that reminds me of a robot or spider here. (no vote)

Pretty haunting. My eyes keep trying to make out shapes and it's eerie the amount of things I can see in this, kind of like a more detailed ink blot test.

The theme is great! The composition doesnt come up to that strength though. Nice work!
