Viewing this image seems quite like staring at clouds and letting your imagination run free. In an abstract way it makes me think of boats leaving the harbor on a nice clear day.

good oxymoron. not bad as an abstract. I don't like the gap of white at the lower right. A more square crop may have helped that. 6

What the ??? Looks like a childs handiwork, on a wall, with some motion blur. Very abstract in nature. Seems more like a graphic than a photograph. Hmmm. Good luck in the challenge.

Interesting... Looks more like a painting. A negative image? I like how the vertical and horizontal lines "control" the chaos.
