Closer to the Heart

This is not an abstract IMO. It is a close up, or a macro of some seeds. Getting even tighter would of made this better for this challenge.

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.

Nice comp, nice flow, whites barely in, blacks not bad, great texture, good light, great color, overall a nice job, but not for this challenge
