Very interesting setup. After reading your comments this photo clicks a little better. If your son's face was a tad more recognizable it may have come across stronger. May have to keep an eye on you - I like the way you see things. :-)

Something about this strikes a chord with me. I love how you chose to keep this in a darker tone.

Comment by skylen:
This is a great image; I really like the dramatic light and shadow.

However, I don't feel it fits the definition of abstract art particularly well (though better than many in this challenge!) -- to quote from abstract art on Wikipedia: "Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which exists independently of visual references to the world."

Interesting low-key shot (probably getting hammered on it being dark). As an abstract I'm not sure it works because the subject is quite identifiable. That's JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

I don't see the abstract angle to this.

Just not abstract enough. Dark but thats about it.

Wow, great shot. So far my favorite of the challenge. Goot capture, nice exposure, and good use of DOF. So far, one of my favs for a ribbon. Great work!
