Comment by psychephylax:
An abstracty fruit :) I'm guessing you're getting hammered for this..I would have chosen a more interesting angle but otherwise it's well done. As a side note...I think it's a major misconception that "abstract" has to be out of focus...It doesn't. A perfectly focused shot without a "Kiwi" in the title would have been just as abstract since it's not easily identifiable but can be figured out/guessed.

Comment by Zeissman:
I am not sure how to rate this, I am sure the focus was on purpose, and it lend a nice abstract quality to the image. But I am not sure just how much I like the result, definitely about average - Zeiss

Comment by MaYz:
I think that for a shot like this the subject has to be in focus.

Comment by karmat:
The fuzziness of this gives it a nice abstract quality, but for me, personally, I think a sharper focus would ahve been more effective. karmat

Comment by Kavey:
Not sure if the blurry focus is deliberate but it's too soft for me.
I do like the composition though and were it in focus this would score much more highly with me.

Comment by Gotcha:
This is such a great/artsy/shot. the lighting and color are nice, but the blur is a little more than necessary. I like a soft focus at times, I would like to see this shot at about half the blur. Good Luck - Gotcha

I feel that a macro must be focused and very clear otherwise it has no effect. Why did you take a close up, if it wasn't to get better detail?

This hurts my eyes! I guess the idea was 'abstract', but this isn't really doing it for me, sorry.
