I know what you are trying to do here and I can appreciate the attempt! Your lighting is not quite right though to make the form pop out of the frame. I am quite the novice myself so I can not offer any good advice on how to make this more effective except to say play around with it. Good job

Nice curve, very leading across the frame. The bg seems to too soft, at least for me; I'd like to see it completely black. Good luck!

This is very cool. You could match it up with a guitar or something. Image is nicely balanced. I think B&w would work well as on my monitor the colour change goes into a greenish tinge on the left (Um maybe my monitor needs calibrating)

The lighting is a little bland

A lot like my entry in Nude I. Although I too am a fan of simple abstract subjects, I think you are stretching the envelope by limiting yourself to just the shape of the outline. I would have included at least some elements of skin texture, 3D shape defined by shadows, or possibly color contrast (with a non-black background).

I like where you decided to split this image - the ying and yang thing works. What I am troubled by here is the lack of purpose. Ah - the title - abstract. Okay. I'm not sure the tones work for the best in an abstract sense. I would think that it should have a purpose - light against dark, color against shape, something. But I dont quite get that here. Maybe if it was black and white or maybe if the lighting gave more depth to the image. Honestly, I think this is a good start but to do well in this challenge you need to go a little further. 5

Nice idea, but if you are going to minimalistic, I think light directly skimming over the hip and waist would have given it a bit more snap.

good abstract butmaybe just a little bit too abstract that itbegins to border boring compared to some of the other better shots in the challenge.
