Very nice!!!! I really like the center, it demands so much attention, the outer areas, the golden and wheat colors look great with the almost red bronze center, nice job! The only thing I would suggest is to bring up the contrast a little to remove a little of the grain that are on the corners of the image. Nice job!!!!!!!!!
the gold and black effect looks great, however i feel that the image has to much going on, and maybe the inner circle is could be faded so that red center and the gold do not touch. But that is just my 2 cents The image looks great keep up the good work.
It's wierd that the first thing I would think of is being captured. Because I look into the center and think that there are five restraints trying to hold down something. And it's already inside a sort of room (the circle). I think a little longer on it, and suddenly I get the feeling of the opposite.
All in all, a very well created image.
