It is especially the bright blue-greenish color that makes no sense. If you would replace that with something inbetween the green and the red, it might be more useful. It is very strange that it is so bright.

@ Starscream:

Thank you for the suggestion, but I'll keep the piece as it is for the contest.... I might do something similar to that but as a different project.

@ Hapiel:

Thanks, and I know that the four sections don't compliment each other and I did that in purpose...

and the last square? well I was looking for colors I didn't i use in the whole picture, that's why it looks weird i guess.

I love the color sets, I think this would look beautifully with every color ste but then fully used for the whole image. Espicially the first 3, I am not sure about the one with 8 colors..

However, they create a really strange image together, as they hardly compliment each other..

Just made this to give an example of a minimal color version. 8 colors (and it should still be within the contest guidelines.) Not saying it is better than the original or anything like that, just that it could be done and still be true to the original.

Good luck on the contest!

Yea, I was trying to get rif of that... err... don't worry, I'll fix it and stuff.

this has 3 "dead pixels"

see that edit:
