I like this Tom! Your artistic creativity is well shown here. You prioritized mood, color, and abstract shapes over technical sharpness. You are using the "subjects" as the context in your frame.

Well done!

Obviously you planned this composition. What was your intention conveyed here?

Dan: Appreciate your insightful comment. My intention centered on the two colors of blue & yellow, situated on the neutral tan/brown tone of the wood. Wanted to emphasize how they complement one & other in this image & elsewhere.

This is exactly how things look to me without my glasses on.

I actually had to put my hand to my face to make sure I had them on.



Nice work.

My intention centered on the two colors of blue & yellow, My premise exactly Tom! "You prioritized mood, color, and abstract shapes over technical sharpness....." Now my comment was NOT from intuitive knowledge of the subject but something that stuck with me from photographer lectures and how the photographer of the exhibition viewd "motion" in all aspects of the term.

You did an excellent job!
Dan
