congrats on your POTD...great graphic #1449241Cherif Keramane June 09, 2005
Dan,The saturation of colors and their contrast is stunning. very beautiful abstract,
If I may, I was wondering if you tried cropping tighter on the left and right sides as to remove the yelow edges. Seems like they pull the attention a bit to the edges. Without them the center impact is stronger and this gives a stunning abstract with central symmetry. Just my two cents,
Contrast of texture is great too, stunning... #1449475
