Great image Chris!The vibrant colors look like they are spinning!Good job! #465433Ray Clarke June 15, 2006
Great abstract shapes and colours Christopher!!!(R) #2899891Chris Budny June 15, 2006
Karen & Ray, thank you so much! The idea struck me right before bed, and it was kinda funny taking the picture; I positioned the lamp flat on a futon (w/ dark fabric) with all the other room lights off, and stood on the arm of the futon waving my camera around near the ceiling for many 1-2 second exposures! #2900334Pat Gamwell June 16, 2006
Incredible!!!!! Fabulous in-camera effects & you did it with the H1...wow! Really love this one, Chris! #2905754Chris Budny June 16, 2006
Thank you, Pat! It has become one of my favorite images so far, in my 9 1/2 months with this camera! #2905893Renee Doyle June 17, 2006

THe rings of colors are very well done. Reminds me of a rainbow. Very vibrant and vivid. #2908594Chris Budny June 17, 2006

Thanks, Don! I plan to continue in the series, once I found this one among my many first attempts... I like the "smooth" feel to the colors and the curves. #2928517Glenn E. Urquhart June 21, 2006
Stunning image, Christopher!!! Vivid colors, very well composed, very creative, unique and quite beautiful! Cheers, Glenn. #2928958Chris Budny June 21, 2006
Thank you Glenn! I really like the way it turned out, particularly after cropping off some of the excess black background. #2930581Kay Beausoleil June 27, 2006
Wow! First thought on seeing this vibrant image was What a poster that would make! The colours and the shapes are really neat -- good work, Christopher! #2956656Chris Budny June 27, 2006
Thank you very much, Kay! #2957045Sharon Day July 15, 2006

Thank you, Robyn, I appreciate it! #3056053Don Johnson July 25, 2006
Chris, I can't believe this did not win a Finalist Award. This is sooooo cool. I really like this photo. I think the judges really messed up on this one. #3076327Chris Budny July 25, 2006
Thanks, Don... it was my favorite "hopeful" for June... But I think I will just have to resubmit it, until they see the error of their ways... hahaha! #3076645Donna La Mattino Pagakis August 26, 2006
Beautiful, artistic image, congratulations on your finalist win! #3221979Tonya R. Boles August 26, 2006

Thanks, Donna & Tonya... I'm so happy this one made a Finalist! #3222869Pat Gamwell August 27, 2006
Love your tenacity...good re-sub! CONGRATS again, my friend! #3223858Chris Budny August 27, 2006
I just had a strong feeling about this one... someone suggested a different category, which seems to have made all the difference! Thanks so much, Pat! #3225376Sandra Freyler August 27, 2006
Congratulations, Christopher! :) #3225852Chris Budny August 27, 2006

Congratulations, Chris!!! I love this one and if I were judging we'd be seeing this one again. Good luck next round! #3229093Chris Budny August 27, 2006
Sylvia & Sharon, thanks so much for commenting. Sharon, you have my vote for being a judge ;) #3229129Kay Beausoleil August 27, 2006
What a great month for you Christopher -- congratulations for another fine finalist! #3229344Chris Budny August 28, 2006
Thanks, Kay... yes, it was very exciting to come home to find the Finalists Saturday! #3230989Don Johnson August 28, 2006

Chris Budny August 28, 2006
Thanks, Don, for taking the time to comment again. I'm really happy to see this one make it, too!Barbara Helgason September 26, 2006
Wonderful effects Christopher! Congratulations! #3367184Chris Budny September 26, 2006
Thanks, Barbara... I really liked this one alot; the "Light Plaid" also just made it to Finalist this month, from the same photo shoot, but I think this is the better camera motion image of the two! #3367437Don Johnson September 27, 2006
Chris, this is one of my favorites of your shots. Well deserved winner. Didn't you enter this last month (but it did not win)? #3371511Chris Budny September 27, 2006
Thanks, Don--you've got it, but there's a twist. This image was a July Contest Finalist... and I believe it may have been a resubmit in July, having not made it anywhere in the May contest (I'd have to look over my notes for May!)Don Johnson September 27, 2006
Whatever the reason, this is certainly a stunning image! #3373140Chris Budny September 27, 2006
Thanks so much, Don... I appreciate your continuous encouragement! #3374640RC Fritz October 24, 2006
Great image Chris. Fantastic colours and composition. Congratulations!! #3493601Chris Budny October 24, 2006
Thanks, RC! Sometimes, it pays to resubmit a favorite image to the contest! #3494524Joanne Kramer July 21, 2007
A fun play with color. I like it. #4537190Chris Budny July 22, 2007
Thank you, Joanne! It was a lot of fun to make the picture, although it took many, many shots to get one that I could use! #4539137Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
