Abstracts are about lines, shapes and colors. If it is recognizable as an object - it is not an abstract.

That must mean that the last abstract b/w winners were DNMC.

Wrong. You are misinformed. I suggest you google and read up some more about abstract photography.

This is a type of challenge I don't mind a low score. It's the comments I feel will show its good. So far though it's not good all round.

Can only find a Abstract1 challenge and it doesn't state that.
//www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_results.php?CHALLENGE_ID=910

Anyway this particular challenge does not state that the image should not show anything that is recognizable as anything.
And nowhere on the internet when I search for definitions of what abstract photography is does it state that it is a hard and fast rule that objects or things should not be recognizable.

Quote" Abstraction is really about learning to see the basic visual building blocks within your subject (line and shape, form and colour) and then arranging these components in pure design. Generally such an exercise will present the subject in an unusual way, and most often in "stripped down" form, often leaving the subject unrecognizable. But whether we still can or cannot recognize the subject is a moot point and neither negates nor validates the work as an abstract"

Going back to the opening quote, "If it is recognizable as an object – it is not an abstract," if the photographer literally meant that if viewers can identify what the subject is, then it is not an abstract, then he misunderstands the concept of abstraction. But if he meant that presenting the object as a recognizable "whole" means we haven’t created an abstract, I would agree"Unquote

Here we go again, why do we dissect the challenge to the point where whatever way you look at it the photog must have got it wrong.

I like pretty pictures :-0
