It's almost like taking a picture of grass - it's not very interesting.

In motion out of whack

Originally posted by fldave: Although motion blur can certainly show "action", I don't usually see gym lockers very active. Nice color though.

Although I agree with [user]f1dave[/user] it can show the camera movement so this technique can be used but to be effective I would add something to the shot to so why the third person (camera) is moving to complete the story. You could add a person that appears to have pushed the camera person back or a spider causing you to jump to help lead the voter to the conclusion the movement was the camera rather than the lockers. Hope thwe information helps.

Abstract challenges are the toughest to enter, everyone has their own thoughts on what is abstract and what is not. The best way to get better scores in any challenge is to make sure there is no doubt you have captured the idea of the challenge that the majority of the voters will likely follow, in this case the item should be very abstract and not easily identifiable. Overall this shot is too clear and not real abstract which clearly affected the score. The exposure and focus are good but the subject is somewhat boring and centered with too much negative space on the sides for my taste. Good luck in future challenges.

Sorry to see you got a DQ, I think the the image on the lower left would have done nicely, I like the fence leading into the leaves.

I've been using the definition: "Of, relating to, or being a style of art in which natural objects are not represented realistically." With this in mind, it doesn't seem abstract, IMO.

Nice work, I don't think the lava is enough to make it interesting as an abstract piece.

Don't see much motion from either the camera or lava lamp :(

Not abstract enough for me, it's clearly a lamp.
