Unless that mossie is an absolute giant, that is a very very seriously impressive macro shot indeed! 10

I'm one of your "8" scores. Of course, I think this is a lovely abstract but I see others did not agree. Good luck in your next Challenge! Beautiful work.

Mother Nature is one heckuvan artist isn't she? NICE tulip macro! Focus is too tight to be totally abstract, imho.

Nice composition, very crisp and graphic. I don't know if it's legal, but when "cropping" the image in photoshop, you can correct perspective problems (the un-level lines in the background) by making a selection, then chosing "Free Transform" then holding the command-key (or control on a PC) down when you drag one of the handles -- this will allow you to distort the image non-uniformly. Since it doesn't involve a mask, and you can get the selection by doing "select all", it should be legal.

Interesting shot with an abstract feel to it.

Comment by Neil:
Nice shot overall, but a bit overexposed at the tip, and its basically a flower macro first, and thus does not give the feel of an abstract. The forms are there, but this is a good example of why things that are too recognizable are not perceived as abstract.
