The flow of colors, the gentle s-curve, the symmetry all work to perfection. A fine work, Ram! :toast:

Amazing! The S-curve ..in particular…the brighter lower half transitions to shaded upper portion is excellent! The orange / yellow/ pink hues blurred lead the eye directly to the curve which utterly satisfies. Well done, Ram!

This is so lovely and eye-catching. The lines, tones of red and yellow, just everything is so simple, elegant, yet very dynamic.

HeyRam. Was really looking forward to viewing and commenting, but I just see a small box above the facebook, etc icons. When trying to view the larger version, I get a page saying "secure connection failed" Are these hosted on another server besides npn?

Ram --> Mike, The photo is hosted on Flickr. It appears you are trying to access NPN from a place which has a firewall that blocks Flickr.
