It almost works for me: hinting at both some abstractness and emotion.

I think this would meet the challenge topic if the wine glass were not there. As is, it's a 'regular' in focus image of a wine glass... not at all abstract, I fear. *sigh*

Well done here. Love the shot. San Diego Zoo is one that I am dreaming of some day going to.

I love the clarity that you've managed to capture in the eyes and the colour is stunning, although I find this more impactful rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise. I think it's due to the eyes not seeming to engage me fully as they are.
