    New abstract piece. Ironically, I made this while rendering an apophysis flame. Didn't like the flame, liked the filler project. =P

    From a purely aesthetic (ie. GFX noob) perspective, I really like it. I don't often dig stuff in this style, often it turns out quite generic, but this I like. It's got enough going on so it's not boring, yet doesn't come off as busy. The dual yellow focal points play off one another really well, being different enough but still bookending the image nicely. I'd prefer if the cross bar of that blue "T" in the middle was behind some other bars, as it is the whole "T" is on top of the image, and whilst I gather that it's supposed to be the subtle focus, atm it stands out a bit too much imo, I think it'd look better if it sort if faded into the rest of the image as it gets to the crossbar.

    The yellows really create a sense of depth through arrangement and contrast.

    I'm not keen on the tone of the blue at the very front, and the purple at the back though. They seem a bit too desaturated to contend with the yellow, and it makes them appear dull and bland. You need to worry about not losing the contrast of these colours with the yellow though, so don't make them too saturated.

    Also what was said above with the 'T' at the front. This woven effect might appear better without an element that is entirely above everything else.

    like matty said, the yellows really help with depth. i love it personally, but cant help but notice it is slightly blurry.. maybe its just my eyes, but the edges arent uber crisp.. was that on purpose?

    I also noticed that last night, I think it may have gotten a bit blurry when I saved it. (missed an option or used the wrong save method, wasn't paying attension) I still have the layered version, so I'll try to sharpen it up later today.
