Well this is just the type of thing I like to do these days - so I may not be the guy to give you "artistic" advice.
Subjects and vision: love it - as anybody here can tell you - I am always preaching to zoom in closer and closer - crop tighter - look for the sublime in the details.
Execution (2nd series): great color saturation, cropping, difusion (anistrophic?).
My eye is bothered a bit by the softness of the images though - like they are not quite in focus or there is slight camera movement. Abstracts like this that have specular highlights and shines (liquid, glass and metal reflections) need that extra little bit of sharpness that brings you into the forms. A tripod with an aperature of F16-F22 and long long exposure (suggestion only).
Not to take anything away from these images - they are great - the second set is even better than the first (blue #2 is my fav). Very refreshing!
