Where the green grass grows

Abstract - yes, cause I can't tell what this is. The image feels a bit unbalanced to me (too much black on the left), but I do like the colors.

Hm. I have to confess this one doesn't really qualify as an abstract for me, not just because the objects (or shadows + persons in this case) are recognizable, but because they are also not at an unusual angle or anyththing that would make me go, wow, I never looked at it this way, or take a minute to figure out what I'm looking for. Obviously, interpretations of an abstract are very personal. This is just mine. I'll have to come back to you on whether I like this as an image. It works better than I would expect, being that nothing is really in focus.

Wow, there's a lot going on here, even w/out the image being repeated on the left. I find its inclusion very intriguing, but it also draws my eye away from some of the other elements more in the middle of the image. Nice entry though.

I am not typically a fan of those "shake the camera" kind of shots, but I have to give it to you ... it really works here. Almost like a painting. Very nice.

I really like this one. The red reflection on the coil works well with the background shifting to red, too.

To me, it's not really an abstract, because I can tell what it is. Having said that, I like it. Colors are nice and there's lots for the eye to explore. How would I have rated it? Probably a 5.

Now there's a proper title for an abstract :) Like the simplicity and the framing works well, too. There's a reflection on the red on the left turn ing it orange. Would've liked it better if that wasn't there.

Not really an abstract in my book to be honest. Having said that, interesting stuff going on, I like the blue background contrasting the b&w structure. Would've cropped just a tad more at the bottom, there's something poking into the image at the left (fence?). Nice symmetry.

I didn't vote on this challenge, but I probably would've given you a 4. The things I don't like much are the blue cast, the blown out white sky, and there's not enough detail in the bird's wing. I know you meant for the blue cast to be there, but it just doesn't work for me. Sorry.

Not sure if you coudl've avoided them, but the three bright lights in the middle are distracting from the rest of the image for me. Interesting idea though.
