Was bored so I created a desktop wallpaper. Let me know what you think of it please.

Might do a tutorial on how to create it.

I like the design. If I where to highlight any possible improvements, it would be with the centre design reflection which appears to be fading in the wrong direction as the bottom part seems brighter than the top.

It's not bad at all.
I do however agree with Conbagui regarding the distortion of the circles and it could use something else in the background, but I really have no idea what that might be.

I would say that the circles need depth - your nearground (complete with reflections of the circles) forces
a deep perspective on the overall image but then the circles have no depth to them, no substance - they
just seem to "hang in the air". If you extend the circles as tubes (or some other form) fading into the distance it will both provide the needed substance and help fill the upper part of the image.

Just to give a different perspective (no pun intended) I saw it as on a grid (open space with support) and the reflections fading into the "below." This meant the bright to fade out made sense to me. Nice color contrast.
