| 4.6 for me. My average vote given is more than 1.5 points higher. You all do a pretty good job of taking pictures, but you truly suck at voting. >:P |

Hmmm, next 6 votes averaged 3.8 so am guessing it's a love, hate, love, hate kinda shot ;) 21 votes with 5.9 average. |

at 4.23 I thought I was a shoe-in for the Brown, but
looks like there's a crowd down here!

Weird. I don't remember offering advice on this one. |
With your help I might be at 3.X, Scott |

After first two votes: 7.0000
After 28 votes: 5.1786
If this rate of decline continues, it would extrapolate to my score going below zero by Friday. |

(I was previously feeling quite excited that I actually captured something abstract. Apparently I'm still missing a key part of that skill set.) |

that is a huge drop, abstracts are notoriously always the hardest thing to vote on. Big swings all over the place, I started high also, but am heading for dearth! |

Sorry to hear about all these scores falling so much.
Mine is holding tight fortunately. I am sure it must be brown and not green

Maybe it's just me, but I have the sense that "abstract in green" has two components. Everyone has no problem with "green" but some of these images look more like macro realism or perhaps natural realism. I guess artists, including photographers could debate until the cows come home about the meaning and scope of "abstract" but at least a large handful of these images are not remotely what I would consider "abstract."
On the other hand, there is a fairly sizable group that I think meet the definition of the challenge and are very strong images.
The range of scores I have given in this challenge is much wider than usual...on both ends.
I'd be curious if others have thoughts on this.
As for my score?

Absolute dead mediocre. One very glowing comment that thinks it could ribbon. Thanks, too bad others don't agree!

I don't think it has to be unidentifiable to be abstract, but for me, the point of the image should be a study of the shapes, colors, textures and light, with the actual identity of the subject being coincidental to the image. I frequently shoot images like that and consider them "semi-abstract" when the subject can be readily identified.

Agree with you (Yo_Spiff) 100%. Abstract, to me, is about shape, color, texture, light and how they all come together in a graphic statement. Maybe it's a recognizable object, but viewed in a different way. Whether the subject can be recognized or not is secondary to the result, IMHO.
