This is pretty cool, Michael. Not much to critique, though I suspect a modern art guru would argue that point with me. I would say that just looking at the compositional balance, the white area in the lower right seems to throw things a bit off balance and tends to pull my eye out of the frame

I’m really admiring your creative photography. You’re doing some really cool things with it.

I can’t quite work out how all this has come together, Michael, but the result is very appealing. Gives me a bit of a feel of an alien embryo - but I guess the abstraction can be read many ways. Very creative !
