    I think this is too busy. Looks almost like a blended multiple exposures.

    The white traces are not working with the egg thing in the middle, and maybe most of all - the colors just aren't pleasant hues at all.

    Though the lines are somewhat random, there is a human controlled element to the randomness, and not the same kind of natural random patterns you can find elsewhere. The big curves to the small jagged lines show a deliberate human effort, I personally like to see no human interference with abstracts akin to this.

    I appreciate the extreme practice and experimentation though, I'm sure it was fun to shoot.

    Not an easy image to form an opinion on daq.
    In a weird sort of way it is the ugliness of this mess that gives it it's attraction. But as a photographic image it does not work for me.
    Reminds me very much of a certain deposit I regularly made during my days of consuming copious pints of a certain black beverage.
    Must say though that I really enjoyed your other egg creations.

    Yeah there is a lot to dislike about it. I guess you aren't experimenting well unless you fail sometimes. On the upside I did not poison my cats with the painted meat in this photo, but I was worried about it for a moment...

    A sightly better interpretation:
