Aside from the horrible technical mistake, the actual figure holds no importance, and I rather dislike abstract.
Stonewall, are you talking about how the background seems to be broken down into horizontal segments, or the scanlines?
Additionally, if you're giving this a zero because you dislike abstract art (I doubt that your extremely low rating came from that single mistake.) then don't comment on/rate abstract pieces. Giving an abstract piece a low rating won't make abstract art disappear, it only hurts the creators (in this case Mapleleaf's) feelings.
Now then, I really like how and where you placed your highlights in this image. How you used gradients to make a glowing core in the center is really nice to. My only problem is how on the southernmost inner tips of the figure, the outward curve seems forced/last minute to avoid a collision if the figure continued.
I'd give it a 7/10
