Regardless of any efforts for interpretative, creative or personal definition - most conventional dictionaries have a pretty good explanation of the word abstract.
I would say that abstract visual devices & qualities are implemented in the above, but the narrative is obvious and may not be considered strictly abstract. |

Lets not forget that the object photographed may be an abstract representation of the photographers views. This would also constitute and abstract image.
Just another point view

| in basic editing, are you allowed to have a border that isn't exactly square? I'm thinking that cutting out the corners with sharp triangles looks good for my image, just not sure if it's legal. |

I dont know why people are defining abstract as a picture where you cant identify the subject.
abstract art
Can you tell what the subject is? is it not abstract?

| Do not confuse "abstract art" with "DPC abstract". The two do not intersect... |

| Well I'm surprised/disappointed - not a single color image in this challenge! Lots of great entries, IMO. Glad I bailed out and pulled my lackluster entry at the last minute. Good luck to all! |

I think I spotted more than a few that started as color images...I will make sure I punish them severely when I get around to voting. |

You are kidding, right? Common sense says NEVER EVER EVER use the B&W filter in-camera. You can do a better job in PP that the camera can in PP (and it IS post-processing, the sensor is still picking up the color). And then you have a color version if you like as well.

I must clarify....if it appears that the photog used any tools whether in camera or post processing to convert the image from color to b/w...

If lighting conditions are right in camera b/w can work, or the shot does have to be tweaked in contrast later on in PP for sure. I think a the in camera jpg b/w + raw is a great team if shooting in b/w is your thing.
Some examples of in camera b/w

So long as you keep the RAW I don't care. But for JPG only shooters who set the camera to B&W mode, that's silly. You lose all the color information and can never reclaim it. |
