This is not an abstract IMO. It is a landscape, with a reflection. It this was done with a D200, and you double exposed, than IMO, you missed a great opportunity.

Definition 1= Art that departs significantly from natural appearances. Forms are modified or changed to varying degrees in order to emphasize certain qualities or content. Recognizable references to original appearances may be slight. The term is also used to describe art that is nonrepresentational.

Definition 2=Not realistic, though the intention is often based on an actual subject, place, or feeling. Pure abstracion can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real objects has been entirely discarded and whose aesthetic content is expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may be called non-objective.

Interesting pix, comp ok, color good, yellow line ok for me as an fx, nice lines, nice flow, ok texture, nice light, overall an ok pix but not for this challenge

I am sorry this is not an abstract. This is more of an impressionistic example at best. Also, I wish I could give you a solid critique, but the blur is to much giving away to the out of focus.

I liked it. Great comp, excellent b&w, great color, great lines, small boobs, great flow, good texture, nice angle, love the shadowing there fore I love the light, great dof, overall could be a great print.

Side note: A break is a good thing. To get your barrings, to be reenergized, to get inspiration. To quit would be to give in to the people that just don't want to know.

The ribbon winners are good photogs, but, an artist is memorable.

Hope this helps.

I am not convinced that this is an abstract. It is a wide shot of a building at best.

This is not an abstract IMO. It is a close up, an advertisement at best.

This is close, but this is not an abstract IMO. Cropping the top would of helped out alot in this pix.
