The abstract feel generated by the movement of camera provides a nice effect. That said, I think you could make the image more interesting with a little more post processing to sustain and extend the viewing time by playing around with localised Sharpening, Tinting, Dodge and Burn to various areas to generate more interest (as the eye rushes to the focal area and then has little where else to go).

I take loads of these type of pictures on my phone when I don't realise that I am walking taking pictures of the grass or pavement or anything else that is not intentional. ;)
Not to get at anyone but I think that this is bland and just don't like it, sorry Chris but each to their own, did like your Circles however and could see that as wall art. :)
