Very creative idea. I've heard that "receding black" is very difficult to achieve. I think it may have been even better if you could somehow make it look as though the circle was in the foreground and the black in the background.

Comment by Man_Called_Horse:
This is not an abstract IMO. It is a wide shot.

Definition 1= Art that departs significantly from natural appearances. Forms are modified or changed to varying degrees in order to emphasize certain qualities or content. Recognizable references to original appearances may be slight. The term is also used to describe art that is nonrepresentational.

Definition 2=Not realistic, though the intention is often based on an actual subject, place, or feeling. Pure abstracion can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real objects has been entirely discarded and whose aesthetic content is expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may be called non-objective.

Interesting angle, good color, b&w good nice flow, nice comp, great light, ok texture, overall an interesting pix but not for this challenge
