Natural abstract

I'm struggling a bit with this one. The background is pleasantly blurry but the subject is definitely not blurry, or chaotic, or disorganized, or even messy. It's like the foreground and background belong to two different images (which fact makes the image discordant ... I guess that could be interpreted as a form of chaos). This just isn't as thoroughly chaotic as some others I've seen.

Natural blur - Blizzard

Cool shot (oops; pun). Trees are blatantly themselves and oriented the right way which is a little more organized than some images I've seen.

Different take, but I see where it fits.

Blur with bokeh! I like it; I think it would be even more fun if you pumped up the saturation some.

Blur, Mess, Calm and Chaos

You've got the basic elements, but you added "calm" and I think that's going to hurt you in this challenge. There are some images that just scream blurry, messy and chaotic and this one is whispering that those are discrete parts of the image and not an integrated whole.

Spinning

Spinning rides can be chaotic if you aren't braced properly ;-) I think this image in this challenge has a bit too much in focus to "feel" out of control. It's OK, but not one of my favorites.

into the storm

A storm at sea is a potentially chaotic event. Not quite getting that from the image, though, I think because all I'm seeing is natural and to some extent timeless. These rocks have survived other storms. A ship being tossed about or something being buffeted would give me a much more powerful sense of chaos.

Yet another approach, and it works. Not the messiest and most chaotic image I've seen, but nice blur.

Too pretty and regular to be truly chaotic in impact, but a nice, bright abstract.

So there is. And some graffiti, too, and assorted splotches. Good take on the challenge.
