Seraph: Probably lit. "the burning one," from saraph "it burned." Seraphs were traditionally regarded as burning or flaming angels, though the word seems to have some etymological sense of "flying," perhaps from confusion with the root of Ar. sharafa "be lofty." Some scholars identify it with a word found in other passages interpreted as "fiery flying serpent." (Online Eytmology Dictionary) Not your traditional cuddly Christian angel here...

Great colors, they blend well. The pinstripes down the sides look good, but I think they would look better as kind of a frame.

I think the pin stripes look good the way you have them. Everybody does frames. Why not be different? Nice fractal.

This image leaves me with the impression of a woman dancing. It's really creative. Thanks for sharing it.

i just revisited this shot... what an appalling rating... ugh something needs to change with the voting system. I'm serious. Again let me comment that i think this is a beautifully created piece with a perfect balance of bold and soft colors. This piece however.. increases my distaste for the voting system! But I love it (again)
