Greetings from the Critique Club!
From your shower stall? Wow, I thought it was a tree knot! I really shoudn't be the one doing a critique on an abstract shot. It's not one of my better areas of photography and I honestly never really understood a lot of it. But here goes, so knowing what you do about my strength in this area, this isn't a bad shot to me overall but the whole shot seems to lack that POP, that WOW that really makes it jump out of the screen at me.
I like the composition and the cropping but the colors, while nice, seem a bit dull overall to me. Maybe if you played with it a bit in the colors or hue and saturation to make the colors really pop out? Also if focus was just a tad sharper to really bring out the lines and edges?
I really like some of your other shots, the hippo one was great and the Magic one is also great. Keep up the good work!
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Almost looks like you had TWO rust shots.... assuming you entered the other... Well done nonetheless! |

Tree trunk? Good texture, odd colour. Seems to have an abundance of magenta. BUT that's fine. :-) |

Should have gone closer, to avoid all those edges. Would be better to just use the whole in the middle as compositional element and then the colorful structures around it, without the edges. |

My daughter's favorite color scheme, so it must be good. Whatever this is, a little sharper focus would have gotten a 9 rather than the 7 I am giving it. Despite the complaints, this is pleasing to the eye. |

very nice- it reminds me of the album cover for Cat Power's "The Covers Record" |

Beautiful color. Very interesting subject as well. The instructions say it's all about lines, shapes, and colors, and you have that. |
