Compared to :"from the River of Life" it hard to see this as "down the Drain" ..its ust as good ...maybe even better. you have a Brilliant Creative Mind.. Magnificent Work...Congratulations...
This isn't the sort of thing that I do, but I like it -- especially for the rich colors and slight swirl effect. I also like the darkened edges that focus the attention on the center. If it were mine, I would like to see what it looks like with just a little cropped from the left and maybe the top. For me, the best grain/detail is just down and right of center, so I would love to see the butterfly-looking object (center of interest) with the same level of detail/sharpness. Nice work!
