I'm not sure what is going on or what the title refers to, but I recognize the can of Waxoyl in the pic. I used that on my car when I was in the UK for 4 years. Haven't found anything like in in the US.

Ok, I looked it up. Quite a bizarre tradition.

Crossing my path

Comment:
"She walks through the corn leading down to the river, Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun, She took all the love that a poor boy could give her, And left me to die like a fox on the run"

That's what popped into my head upon seeing this. Bringing up a song I haven't heard in decades is worth some extra pointage, but "Fox on the run" may have been a better title.

I hear the Indiana Jones theme running in the back of my head. That's worth some extra pointage.

Checkerboard

Comment:
Not totally abstract, but shot in an abstract manner, focusing my eye on the shapes, and tonality and textures. I think of these as semi abstracts.

Ordinary Brilliance

Comment:
A good shot, but not abstract to me, I'm afraid. A closer macro shot of say, the pull tab might be more abstract. Sorry.

Comment:
I like this, but a minor critique: It would have been more abstract if you hadn't told me what it was in the title. In typical challenges, I seem to get dinged for something that can't be identified, but that trend tends to reverse in an abstract challenge. It won't affect my vote, however.

Settlers

Comment:
Not terribly abstract. I'm sure I am not the first person to comment on that. Otherwise, an interesting cityscape with lots of detail.

Comment:
Quite a bit oversharpened (or something) on this, especially in the trees, and it kills a lot of detail in a pleasing scene. Sorry. Would be interested in seeing the out of camera pic.
