WHOA. SO underrated! The abstract composition here is brilliant! The coloration, the tones, the details, the contrast... so great! This would make the most beautiful large print for someone's home. I don't understand what voters were thinking. This is fabulous!

I gave this a 7 on my first pass and never made it back to fine tune my votes. Would have bumped it definitely. It is actually quite beautiful and I love the color pallet you chose.

This is different (and a little strange). The top area looks like a row of teeth.

This is one of those photos where the title really helps. I was about to score it a 3 because it just looked like a big mess of I don't know what. Once I saw that it was a jellyfish, I realized, "hey, this is a really cool take on a jellyfish"

The artist himself would have been impressed with this just as I am. Lovely!
