Just MHO :-)I'm pretty subjective when it comes to art. So I'm going to approach this from a personal reaction level.

I found myself staring at this piece a little while. I also noticed that my eyes kept moving around.

That usually means that something is bothering me about what I'm looking at and my mind was trying to *do* something with the image,(possibly draw a connection between the juxtaposed colors)

Not necessarily a bad thing, simply my personal reaction. Point is, it got a pretty long glance from me...lol

People may like or not like and image for various reasons, but sometimes response to a piece just depends on the perceptions of your audience.I don't think you did anything "wrong" with the image :-)

Original Post: Heavy Critiques Wanted

I am very proud of this piece. I think I did a fine job, and this is the best work of art I produced in 2004. However, many people I show it too tend to give it a cursory glance and then look away. What is wrong with it, that so few others find it worth their time to look at it. I really want to know, so that I can avoid making the same mistakes on future projects.
