Previously voted 9 but raising this to a 10. Hope to see the front page for this.

Twigs

Not terribly abstract, but photographed in an abstract manner, where the subject is more about the colors, textures and shapes. I like it.

Portrait of a Waterfall

I gave it a 7. My guess is the 1 came from one of the "out of the box" folks who saw it as a technically well done landscape, but not anything that spoke to them. Would probably make a great artsy b/w , BTW!

Late Afternoon Glow

Looks like I gave this a 7. Putting my critical thinking cap on:
-I like the leading lines of the dock. I might have cropped it a little tighter on the left to put the near end in the rule of third zone.
-The highlight details on the water are blown out. It's a hard thing to expose for at sunset.
-Maybe a little to orangey for me. I kind of like balancing my sunsets with a little more blue in the sky. But that is a personal preference and a nitpick.

Looks like something I'd see at Meow wolf or a modern art museum.

Would love to see this with a longer exposure to motion blur these a little more.

Put in a little sailing ship falling off the edge of the earth and this could be a great extended entry.

Midnight

Fully recognizable, but shot in an abstract manner that focuses on the shapes, colors and textures. Nicely done.

Wonderful oil pic. Seems just a tad grainy to me and I'd have done some additional noise reduction to make the colors smooth. But that's just a nitpick and I expect this will perform well. Your mileage may vary.
