Dear All, I'm really very happy to read all your valuable comments and feedbacks. Whether I win in this contest or not, I'm glad that I took part in this competition. I'm not used to make such chikku kolams. Overall I was in a stage above the beginner level when i joined in this I-Kolam. I can make maximum 9 to 1 dots kolam. That's it. After joining I-Kolam and seeing other's work, I was motivated to do better ones. I still remember my first upload of small chikku kolam and first upload of simple padi kolam. When i compare those with the recent uploads of mine, I can judge myself that I have improved. Thanks to all members of I-kolam for motivating me with your kolam art, comments, suggestions, encouragements, appreciations etc etc.

Maha, First accept my heart felt apologiy for missing to comment on this lovely kolam .
As soon as I saw this I searched my old kolam note book to locate a similar kolam. Since could not locate it postponed my commenting.But it was a hectic time for me since I have to go to chennai in 2 days time ,packing and other works took my time and in betwen I used to log on and comment picking random kolams from the contest entries. After reaching chennai also attending the wedding and Jaya's 60th B.day celeberations, i lost the thraed and so many entries though I appreciated and voted , went without commenting. Even though late , nice that u reminded Thanks for that and sorry for the delay.
Design... circular design is alwys nice to look at , butdifficut to get perfect circle. U have achieved perfection .
Dot count .... Easy dot count, very neatly done and ofcourse wisely used the tiles to get perfect circle in keeping the dots.
Drawing.....your ezhai is not too thin not too thick but very neat. The floor color also helps in making it look bright.
Coloring..... Matching color pairs pink/violet, yellow/green are wisely used in the inner circle to give a SB kolam effect.
The outer extensions are cute .. if you have given a colored outline to these extensions they would have nicely merged with the inner circle.
On the whole a pleasing circle kolam well executed.

Rajam mam, I'm so happy to receive this comment from you for my contest kolam. Surely I will take your suggestions for improvising this. Thanks a lot for your feedback and comment. Better late than never. I can understand how much hectic it would have been for you during these days. Take care of your health.
