How about this one? abstract enough for the challenge? can you see the people or do you have to imagine them?

I can see the people.

I have a big question about this challenge and I want to avoid a DQ but I don't want to also spoil my idea.

Is there any chance I could PM my question to someone? who should I contact?

why abstract become blurry and should not be recognizable?

Abstract definitions:
Adjective:
Existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.
Verb:
Consider (something) theoretically or separately from something else.

The challenge doesn't mention that the people have to be abstract, just the photo, allthough that's hard to achieve.......lol

Doesn't matter what the dictionary definition is, ppl will vote with their narrow minded own definition of it.

If abstract has no recognizable shape how do we recognize the essential people?

Yes, it's entertaining to think about what is an Abstract Person(s), visually. If it's not a woody, what is it? Is Barbie an abstract female?

To me woody and Barbie are simplified representations of people, not their abstractions.

Mmm, okay. If we're defining abstract like that, then that leaves plenty of room for us to play in.

This is not abstract, otherwise every composition in photoshop would be abstract.

Well...partly serious, partly whimsical

if an abstract is the result of reducing something to its essentials, then isn't a woody also a physical abstract as well as a representation of a human? The 2 things don't cancel each other out. Or do they?

Please post an example of an abstract human that might be relevant to this challenge.


Is this an abstract of a human?

And yes I think it's true that the act of photography is an act of abstraction. Every composition should contain only the bare essentials, like good poetry. But that does not mean that the resulting photograph will be abstract. The photo has it's own existence, apart from that of the bit of reality it was abstracted from.

These are all good abstracts of people. But not "abstract with people." IMO of course.

even though I can't enter to this challenge, it's pretty confusing for me!

seems like there will be tons of blurry people with this one...

Which is the difference? If they are of people they should be with people too.
